Dundee United vs Aberdeen brings two of the division’s mid-table sides together at Tannadice Park on Saturday, 24 October, with a 3pm kick-off and little to separate them on paper.
Dundee United sit sixth and Aberdeen seventh in the Scottish Premiership, with a single point between them, and this has the makings of a cagey afternoon. Our Dundee United vs Aberdeen predictions favour a low-scoring home win, with Aberdeen’s blunt attack at the heart of Anthony Eadson’s thinking.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a tight, low-scoring game and has focused on Dundee United’s control at home.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dundee United over 5.5 corners | 5/6 (BoyleSports) | Dundee United have found their range from wide areas lately, forcing at least seven corners in each of their last four league games, including 14 at home to Falkirk and eight against Hibernian. At Tannadice they average just over eight corners a game, and three of their four home outings have cleared this line. Aberdeen give plenty away too, conceding 6.4 corners per game overall and almost eight on the road. With United likely to see more of the ball, this is a steady short-priced way into the afternoon. |
| Dundee United to win to nil | 10/3 (Sky Bet) | The standout angle is Aberdeen’s toothless attack. The Dons have failed to score in five of their nine league games, more than any other side in the division, and have managed just one win in four on the road. Dundee United, by contrast, have kept three clean sheets and lost only once in four at Tannadice, and they shut out both Hibernian and St. Mirren in recent weeks. A 1-0 or 2-0 home win looks well within reach, and at 10/3 Dundee United to win to nil carries real appeal against a side that so often fails to find the net. |

How Dundee United go into the game
Dundee United have quietly put together a solid run, unbeaten in four and up to sixth. They drew 1-1 at St. Johnstone last time out, and that followed back-to-back wins over Hibernian and St. Mirren, the latter a 3-0 success on the road. At Tannadice they have been hard to beat, losing just one of four, and three clean sheets in nine games points to a well-drilled rearguard. Lyall Cameron chips in from midfield, though the goals have been shared around a side that has scored 11 and conceded 12.
How Aberdeen go into the game
Aberdeen come to Tannadice in mixed form, seventh and almost level with their hosts, but the scoring numbers are the worry. They have failed to score in five of their nine league games, more than any other side, a chronic bluntness that has undercut some decent defensive work. Kevin Nisbet leads the line with four goals, and the Dons did beat St. Mirren 3-1 at home last time out, but on the road it has been one win, one draw and two defeats. Against a Dundee United side that keeps things tight at home, clear chances may again be at a premium.

Tannadice has been reasonably kind to United, who have won two of their last three home league games against Aberdeen, the other a goalless draw.
