United to avoid defeat
Dundee FC have six losses in their last eight games, they’ve drawn one and lost one of those eight games; it’s worth noting that Dundee’s only win in that stretch came against League One side Dumbarton, and their draw was against St Johnstone, the worst team in the league. Dundee United have been relatively better; they’ve won two of their last three games. Also, Dundee United have no losses in their last four meetings with Dundee FC; they’ve won three and drawn one of those four games. With this in mind, we’re making the prediction that Dundee United will not lose.
Both sides will hit the net
When these teams meet, they tend to score a lot of goals; both teams have found the back of the net in eight of the last 10 encounters between these sides. Also, both teams have conceded a lot of goals this season; Dundee United have conceded in all of their last 10 games across all competitions, while Dundee FC have conceded in six of their last seven league games. Considering both teams have also scored in four of Dundee United’s last five games, we believe that both teams will find the net.
We’ll see goals
We’ve already established that both teams have conceded a lot of goals this season; Dundee United have conceded in 10 consecutive games in all competitions, they’ve scored their fair share of goals too. Dundee United have scored six goals in their last five games, with four of those five games going over 2.5. Its also fair to point out that only one team has conceded more goals than Dundee FC this season; and on that note, we should expect some goals here.

Dundee vs Dundee United: Team News
Dundee
Dundee’s game with St Mirren was put on ice due to a weather problem; they have no losses in their last two games, and will look to extend that run to three games today. Dundee will host neighbors Dundee United, whose stadium is just 321 meters from theirs. James McPake will call on James McCowan to lead the attack.
Dundee United
Dundee United lost to Celtic last weekend; despite being a man up late in the game, they still conceded a stoppage time goal. Thomas Courts’ men will hope to bounce back from that loss as they visit neighbors Dundee FC; it’ll be interesting to see how they’ll fare with Tony Watt leading the line.
