Dundee United vs Rangers Prediction & Betting Tips - Scottish Premiership

Prediction published on 07/01/2023, 08:23  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Dundee United have picked some good form in their recent Premiership matches and will be looking to keep this going when they play host to title-chasing Rangers. The hosts go into this game with 19 points in 11th place while Rangers are second on 46 points. Since action returned after the World Cup break, Dundee United have won seven of nine available points and coming into this game with two straight wins will for sure build their confidence. Late goals have defined their run in the last three games, with the most recent needing an Anthony Watt 81st minute goal to secure three points. The clean sheet in that game was their third in five matches and they have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches. At home, they are unbeaten in the last three league games, scoring at least two goals in each of them and they have just one loss in the last five.

Rangers, on their part, are coming from a 2-2 draw with their Glasgow rivals Celtic, a result that brought to a halt their four-match winning run. Rangers are unbeaten in their last seven matches in the Premiership, winning five of them. They haven't done superbly in defence though, returning just three clean sheets in their last 10 league matches. Against Celtic, Rangers were cruising to a fifth straight win until Kyogo Furuhashi scored the leveler in the 88th minute. That result meant four of Rangers’ last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. They have themselves scored two or more in four of the five matches, in total scoring 11 in the last five league games. They’ve also scored in each of their last five away league matches, but with only one clean sheet to report.
