Dundee United welcome Motherwell to Tannadice Park on Saturday 7 November, a 3pm Scottish Premiership kick-off that pits Jim Goodwin’s unbeaten-in-five hosts against a Motherwell side struggling to make their away days pay.
United sit sixth on 16 points and have not lost in five, a run of three wins and two draws that includes a 2-2 draw away at Celtic last time out. Motherwell are ninth on 12 points and arrive in patchy form, with only one win on the road all season.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson fancies the in-form hosts to make home advantage count against a Motherwell side yet to get going on the road. Here are our two Premium Tips for Dundee United vs Motherwell.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Zachary Sapsford to score anytime | 9/5 (Ladbrokes) | Sapsford is Dundee United’s leading scorer with three goals and leads the line for a side that has found the net in each of its last five league games. Motherwell have been leaky on their travels, conceding 12 goals in six away matches, so the United striker looks a fair price to get on the scoresheet in front of his own fans. |
| Dundee United and both teams to score | 13/5 (Betfair Sportsbook) | The hosts are unbeaten in five and fancied to take the points, but Motherwell are not without a threat on the road, where they have scored 10 goals in six games. A United win with both teams scoring reflects an in-form home side meeting a visiting attack that tends to find a goal even when the defence leaks. |

How Dundee United go into the game
Dundee United have quietly put together one of the division’s better runs of the autumn, going five games unbeaten with three wins and two draws to reach sixth on 16 points. Jim Goodwin’s side have scored in each of those games, the pick of them a hard-earned 2-2 draw away at Celtic last time out.
Zachary Sapsford tops their scoring chart with three, and while home form is solid rather than spectacular, with two wins, two draws and a single defeat at Tannadice, United will feel this is a game to target against a Motherwell team they will expect to beat on current form.
How Motherwell go into the game
Motherwell sit ninth on 12 points but travel to Tannadice in better heart, having won their most recent outing at home against St Mirren to make it back-to-back games unbeaten. That upturn halted a run of three straight league defeats against Celtic, Kilmarnock and Hearts.
The problem remains their away form. Motherwell have won just once on the road all season, losing three of six, and have conceded 12 goals in those six away games. They do carry a goal threat on their travels, with 10 scored away from Fir Park, but keeping United out at Tannadice looks a tall order.
Dundee United vs Motherwell head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/09/26 | Motherwell | 3-0 | Dundee United |
| 28/02/26 | Motherwell | 2-0 | Dundee United |
| 13/12/25 | Dundee United | 0-0 | Motherwell |
| 29/10/25 | Motherwell | 2-0 | Dundee United |
| 22/02/25 | Dundee United | 1-0 | Motherwell |
History sits firmly with the visitors. Motherwell have won seven of the last ten league meetings and three of the last five, including a 3-0 rout at Fir Park when the sides met in September. Current form suggests the trend is due a turn for Dundee United, but Motherwell have been a bogey side of late.
