Dundee United vs Hibernian Prediction: An exciting topflight show

On the 11th of October, the match for the Scottish Premiership between Dundee United and Hibernian will take place at Tannadice Park. When Hibs take on Dundee United away from home, they will be looking to extend their winning streak to five games in a row. Meanwhile, Dundee United will look to build on their weekend 4-0 win over Aberdeen.

After defeating Aberdeen by a score of 4-0 in the Premiership, Dundee United will be looking to repeat their success and achieve a similar outcome in their upcoming match. During that match, Dundee United had 35% of control of the ball and 14 shots on goal, with 8 of those shots landing in the target area. Aziz Behich in the 41st minute, Tony Watt in the 45th minute, and Jamie McGrath in the 73rd minute all found the back of the net for Dundee United. Aberdeen had 14 shots on goal but only managed to get one of them on target. Ross McCrorie scored an own goal in the 82nd minute for Aberdeen. In recent years, matches involving Dundee United have frequently been entertaining affairs, with a great deal of activity occurring around the goal being a defining characteristic of these contests. Throughout their most recent half-dozen head-to-head contests, a combined total of 22 goals have been scored by both teams for an average of 3.67 goals per game, with Dundee United being responsible for 8 of those goals. When looking at their performance in the past, it is clear that Dundee United have played Hibernian in their last two league matches but have come up losing each time.

Hibernian are coming into this matchup on the back of a victory in their most recent Premiership match, which they won 1-0 over Motherwell. During that match, Hibernian controlled possession for 58% of the time and had 14 shots on goal, with only 5 finding the target. Ryan Porteous was the one to put the ball in the back of the net for Hibernian in the 67th minute. There were nine shots on goal taken by Motherwell, but just one was on target. As a result of a string of relentless performances by their defense, the Hibernian team has only conceded four goals in the six matches they have participated in since the beginning of the season. During the same time frame, their strikers have accounted for 9 of their team's total goals. We have every reason to believe that Hibernian will be optimistic about their chances of extending their winning streak to five games against a Dundee United team that has struggled mightily recently. However, to win this match, they must be in the same top form as in their prior contests.

United's performance during this season has not been something to write home about, and given their terrible track record against Hibs, their woes will likely continue after this Tuesday's match. Hibs are enjoying their most excellent form of the season, having won their last four games in a row, and they should have little trouble picking up three points from their matchup with United, who are currently in last place.
