Dundee FC vs Dundee United Prediction and Expert Tips

Dundee FC vs Dundee United Match Preview

The fourth Scottish Premiership round will feature the Dundee Derby. Dundee FC have gained an upper hand over Dundee United in the recent years by beating them in the last two encounters consecutively. Their recent encounter at Dens Park finished in the favor of Dundee FC, which put an end to a three-match unbeaten streak of Dundee United here.

Just four teams have won a game thus far this year and the two Dundee sides are not among them. Dundee FC began this season with two draws and a defeat while Dundee United drew and lost one each of their two opening games.

The Scottish manager Steven Pressley will be concerned about Dundee FC’s attacking game. They were on the verge of accepting defeat in their previous game against Kilmarnock but fortunately none of their 12 attempted shots found the target. At the same time, Dundee FC managed to put only a single shot on target in that entire match. Their on target shot count for the season so far is only 4.

But the Irish manager Jim Goodwin’s concern will be at the Dundee United defense, who have conceded 5 goals in two league matches at the beginning. At least one of them would have been a victory if their defense line performed well throughout. Nevertheless, there is something for him to be proud of as his attacking unit has performed well scoring 2 each in both the matches at the beginning.

Dundee FC vs Dundee United Prediction

Only two victories from the previous nine home matches complicate Dundee FC’s situation here. They lost their first home game of the season as well with the score 1-2. Dundee United’s situation is different because they were able to get a 2-2 away draw in their first away trip this season.

Dundee United’s forward line is fine and have been scoring goal at a rate that is nothing short of astonishing. But their back four is atrocious, and that is the primary reason why a victory is denied to the United team. But their Croatian forward Ivan Dolcek has proven his mettle upfront in the beginning. He scored a total of 3 goals in two matches. All of the two goals Dundee United scored in the 3-2 defeat against Hearts was his’ as well.

Apart from the defensive breaches, Dundee United appears more impressive than Dundee FC. But if they seals victory remains a question mark. In cases such as these, Draw no Bet is the ideal bet. It certainly will be a both teams to score game given the figures on paper but Dundee United’s frontline will not lose their potency particularly with an in-form spade like Dolcek.
