Aberdeen 5/7 to beat Dundee United in Saturday’s Scottish Premiership battle

Competition: Scottish Premiership

Market: Aberdeen win

Odds: 5/7 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Scottish Premiership table, Aberdeen will host Dundee United on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, slumping back to losing ways last time out, there is no doubt that Aberdeen will be seeking an immediate response here. In their 14 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, one draw and six defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the top-flight table and holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the top-half. As for their recent run of results, despite being last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Livingston, Aberdeen have won four of their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have won each of their last five straight home fixtures, a run that has seen them bag 19 strikes.

As for the visitors, managing to make a much-needed return to winning ways last time out, Dundee United will be desperate to build off of that display here. In their opening 15 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded three wins, three draws and nine defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 30 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 12, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them off the foot of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 4-0 victory at home against Kilmarnock, that result drew a line under Dundee’s four-match losing run. However, it should be noted, with Saturday’s guests failing to win any of their previous six straight away fixtures, we’re backing a home victory.
