Aberdeen
- Thelin’s 4-2-3-1 has often excelled, although their form has dipped somewhat of late (W2, L3 in the last five in all competitions).
- Aberdeen’s home record in the 2025/2026 season reads an even W3, D3 and L3.
- Aberdeen score an average of 1.33 goals per game at home in the Premiership 2025/2026, conceding an average of 1.11 per game.
Dundee United
- Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin has built a solid team since taking the helm in March 2023, with a pragmatic back-three system employing wing backs and a disciplined, compact system focused on winning second balls and exploiting transition.
- United have been in steady form of late (W1, D3, L1 in the last five), including a stunning 2-1 win over Celtic and a 1-1 draw against Hibernian.
Head-to-Head
- Dundee United have won the last three head-to-head meetings between these sides.
- Dundee United have won each of the last three Premiership 2025/2026 head-to-head matches, including a 2-0 home win just three months ago.
- Aberdeen have also failed to win their last home meeting with United, and that’s why we think the visitors can steal a result here.
Key Players
Jesper Karlsson is the main scorer for The Dons with four goals in 13 Premiership appearances this season, but Adil Aouchiche has also contributed two goals in Aberdeen’s last five games and can be the creative outlet that they so often need.
Betting Insights
- With Aberdeen at 1.84 and Dundee United at 4.0, there seems to be a disconnect in the odds, especially given the visitors have won the last three meetings between the two sides.
- Backing Both Teams To Score at 1.7 looks an ideal opportunity in this fixture.
Prediction
- With Aberdeen having lost their last two games, United may just nick this one at Pittodrie on Saturday.
- Thelin’s side are favourites, but they have lost their momentum ahead of this encounter, whilst United’s away form has been shaky, with just 1 win in 8 away games.
