Dundee United vs Dundee Stats

- The two teams have perfectly-mirrored statistics in their last 10 meetings. Each club has won three matches, scored 13 goals and kept three clean sheets
Dundee United to win @ 21/20
Dundee have won just one of their eight away league games in 2026. Visiting your local rivals is not where you want to be if that’s your record. The trip is short but the crowd is likely to be hostile.
United are in better form, having won three of their last five league outings. Admittedly, Dundee held them to a 2-2 draw during that spell. But it feels like the home team are in the ascendancy, something also reflected in their respective league placings.
Odds correct at time of publishing.
Over 3.5 total goals @ 7/4
United themselves have netted at least twice in six of their past seven league meetings with Dundee. The teams shared the aforementioned 2-2 draw last month.
The Dees are coming off another 2-2 draw, this time against Kilmarnock. Meanwhile, United won 3-2 against Livingston in their most recent outing. These compelling factors lead me to fancy the over 3.5 goals market in this one.
