Rangers vs Dundee United Prediction: Back the Gers to Win to Nil on Saturday

Rangers and Dundee United clash for the second time this season. Philippe Clement led his Gers to a narrow 1-0 win at Tannadice back in September. It wasn’t pretty, but followers of the home team would surely accept a victory of any description in this renewal. 

Will Rangers get the desired result or can Dundee United claim their revenge? Betfred’s in-form Scottish football tipster Frank Monkhouse returns from the international break with two picks at Ibrox.

Football Odds

Rangers enter round 12 of the Scottish Premiership season stuck down in third place and already nine points behind joint-leaders Celtic and Aberdeen. We’re only in November, but the Gers have already exited the Champions League, lost the first Old Firm derby of the campaign, and failed to win four of their first 11 Premiership outings.

Pressure is mounting on the manager and his squad of misfiring players. Defeat on Saturday at Ibrox could see Dundee United go above Rangers in the table.

The visitors arrive in Govan looking to make life difficult for their hosts. Dundee United sit fourth in the league following five wins, four draws and three defeats with 18 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Their tally of 19 points has Dundee United ahead of fifth-placed Motherwell on goal difference and three points behind Rangers and the top three. Jim Goodwin’s team arrive on the back of a 3-0 win and hope to cause an upset.

Rangers have won two and lost two of their previous four Premiership starts, while Dundee United have won one, drawn one, and lost two in the same period. That suggests anything can happen on Saturday, with neither team filling bettors with confidence.

Rangers did beat Hearts 1-0 at this venue before the international break and enter this game as favourites with Betfred traders. You can back the home win at 1/4 on the website and mobile app.

Dundee United lost to Aberdeen at Pittodrie and Motherwell at Tannadice late last month. In November, they drew 1-1 with bottom club Hibs at Easter Road and recovered to beat struggling Ross County 3-0 in the City of Discovery.

The visitors will kick off as underdogs in the betting, and you can back Dundee United at 11/1 or try the draw at 5/1.

Rangers win to nil @ 1/1

Our first pick at Ibrox is on the home team to win to nil. The Rangers' defence has been far from reliable this season, with the hosts conceding five goals more than leaders Celtic. But there have been signs of improvement.

They kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Hearts at this venue last time, with an early strike from Cyriel Dessers enough to deny the Jambos. Dessers has now scored in each of his previous three games.

Rangers kept a clean sheet against FCSB and St Johnstone last month, and the head-to-head stats against Saturday’s opponents are encouraging.

That 1-0 win for Rangers at Tannadice in September was the third game in a row where The Terrors have failed to find the net against the Gers. Fancy more of the same? You can back Rangers to win to nil and hope Clement’s men live up to expectations.

Rangers 2-0 correct score @ 11/2

Sticking with our pick on Rangers to win without conceding, we aim for an even better price when playing the correct score market.

Followers of my Scottish football predictions landed a winning accumulator last weekend and have enjoyed some eye-catching profits on the correct score market already, including a few involving Rangers.

We follow the stats for this weekend’s pick at attractive odds, backing Rangers 2-0 Dundee United in the correct score. That would’ve been a winning bet in three of the last five games involving these teams, with the spare that recent 1-0 win.

Rangers have scored exactly two goals in four of their previous five meetings with Dundee United, and we shoot for more of the same in Govan, which is good enough to back as a single.
