Dundee United vs Dundee FC Prediction: A battle of two struggling sides

At Tannadice Park, Dundee United will play Dundee FC in round 30 of the Scottish Premiership. The two teams have been struggling in recent matches and will have to show competitiveness here. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Dundee United

Dundee United played Aberdeen and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, two first-half strikes from Vicko Sevelj and Sam Dalby were enough to see this team take the lead. However, Kevin Nisbet's brace in the second half denied this team maximum points. However, a look at Dundee United's last matches saw them win only one, coming against Motherwell. Ahead of this game, they have 41 points from 29 matches this season, leaving them seated in 5th place.

Dundee FC

Dundee FC played Hearts in the Scottish Cup quarterfinal last weekend and lost. In a 3-1 disappointing encounter, Joseph Shaughnessy's strike put this team level in the 50th minute after having gone behind at halftime but then conceded twice in the final minutes of the second half. However, their last league game against St Johnstone also ended in a 1-1 draw. Ahead of this game, Dundee FC have not won any of their last five matches, losing four and drawing one. With 28 points from 29 matches, Dundee FC sit in 11th spot, scoring 41 goals and conceding 61.

Expert Betting Tips

Derby matches are always tough and regardless of how weak the visiting team is, I still believe this game could go either way. Yet, Dundee United's overall performance this season makes them a solid side to back here, despite the recent poor plays. In the meantime, with Dundee United struggling defensively, I believe Dundee FC will score here.
