Dundee United to win @ 8/5

Sitting in sixth place with five points from their first four games, it’s been a steady start from the Tangerines to the Premiership campaign.The same can’t be said of Aberdeen, who have managed just one point from their first four games, while they have failed to score a single goal in the league so far this season.

That lack of cutting edge in attack will be of huge concern to manager Jimmy Thelin as they prepare for the trip to Tannadice, which has certainly not been a happy hunting ground for the Dons.

United have won five of their last six home games against Aberdeen, who have failed to score in five of their last seven visits to Tannadice.

Given the Dons’ record at this ground and form this season, the Tangerines are good value for the win on Tuesday.

Football Odds

Ivan Dolcek anytime goalscorer @ 7/4

Enjoying an impressive start to the season with four goals in his first four Premiership appearances, United striker Ivan Dolcek is backed to get on the scoresheet again on Tuesday.

The Croatian forward opened his account in the Tangerines' opening game against Falkirk and proceeded to bag a first-half brace in a defeat to Hearts.

Scoring in the Dundee derby in a 2-0 victory for United, Dolcek is well priced to add to his Premiership goal collection this season against the rock-bottom Dons.
