The Scottish Premiership game between Aberdeen and Dundee United warrants further inspection. While Aberdeen are the favourites, Dundee United have proven very difficult to beat and have been a thorn in the home team's side all year. Let's get into this match prediction.

Aberdeen’s latest 3-1 loss to Celtic ended their seven-game unbeaten streak, which featured seven wins, even beating league leaders Hearts. That run propelled Aberdeen to 17th after losing five of their opening six games. The Dons should be entering this game against Dundee United with confidence, especially as their opponents have only won 4 of 18 league games.

However, Dundee’s performances, while underwhelming on paper, tell a different story upon further inspection. The Terrors have been a menace against opponent defences all season. Their attacking style of play has earned the joint fifth-highest goals scored (24), as many as Rangers.

In truth, it's Dundee’s defence that's betrayed them all season, after conceding the third-most goals (27). But Dundee makes up for it by ramping up their attacking efforts, and that style of play has been rewarding.

In their last eight games, Dundee are unbeaten in six, with the latest being a 1-1 draw with Hibernian. More interesting is the fact that Dundee beat Celtic (2-1), drew Rangers (2-2), and drew league leader Hearts (1-1) in that run.
