Dundee United
- Dundee United and Aberdeen are level on 28 points after 25 matches in the 2025-2026 Scottish Premiership, currently occupying seventh and eighth place in the table respectively.
- United have been the better team in recent weeks, winning three of their last five, including back-to-back victories over Falkirk and Spartans in their two most recent outings.
- Jim Goodwin’s team are solid but not spectacular, with plenty of structure, some selective pressing and an intent to sit compact and spring counter attacks or cause problems on set pieces.
- Ross Graham has been a surprise attacking outlet for the Tangerines with three goals in their last five games.
- Zachary Sapsford is the top scorer in the club’s Premiership ranks with six.
Aberdeen
- Since Peter Leven took over as interim boss in January 2026, the Dons have been better defensively and more disciplined in the way they have played.
- Leven has toned down the high pressing game, instead opting for a more balanced, pragmatic approach and he has experimented with a few options up front to get the best out of what he has.
Head-to-Head
Dundee United are undefeated in the last five head-to-head matches, winning three and drawing two.
Key Players
- Ross Graham - a surprise attacking outlet with three goals in his last five games.
- Zachary Sapsford - the club’s top Premiership scorer with six goals.
- Jesper Karlsson - Aberdeen’s most dangerous player with five goals in 18 appearances.
Betting Insights
- United are the favorites here at 2.3, while the visitors are slight underdogs at 2.87, but a draw at 3.4 is also appealing.
- Dundee United’s home form is a little mixed, with three wins, four draws and five defeats from 12 games.
- Aberdeen have won four of 13 away and lost the other nine.
Prediction
- The hosts are coming off the back of a postponement, which may disrupt the playing surface and their preparation for this high-stakes local fixture.
- As a result, the under 2.5 goals line looks attractive as a bet for Tuesday’s game.
