UNA Strassen vs Dundee United Prediction: Tight clash likely in Luxembourg

Dundee United have put themselves in a strong position to progress in the Conference League after winning the first leg of their qualifier against UNA Strassen 1-0 last week, and Jim Goodwin’s side will be confident they can complete the job in Luxembourg on Thursday.

Their opponents have not conceded in their last four home games and while this clash is  against the team that finished fourth in last season’s Scottish Premiership, they will be confident of putting up a better performance in front of their own fans.

Team news

UNA Strassen have no fresh injury concerns following last week’s first leg and look set to keep faith with the same team as they look to be more proactive and drag themselves back into the tie.

New signing Zac Sapsford popped up with last week’s winning goal for Dundee United and he should get another opportunity to impress following his move from A-League outfit Western Sydney Wanderers.

UNA Strassen vs Dundee United Odds

Dundee United are 4/5 to claim another victory on Thursday night, while both UNA Strassen and the draw can be backed at 13/5.

As they enjoy the cushion of a 1-0 first-leg success, it is no surprise to see United 1/8 to progress to the next round, while Strassen are 9/2 to make it through.

Over 2.5 goals is available at 8/11, both-teams-to-score backers can get 4/6 for their favourite bet, while a repeat 1-0 Dundee United win has been priced up at 7/1.

Today's Football Fixtures

Under 2.5 goals @ 10/11 

Dundee United will feel they should be heading to Luxembourg with more than a one-goal lead from the first leg of their Conference League qualifier with UNA Strassen, but it would not be a surprise if this was a game with few goals.

The Scottish Premiership outfit should be confident after finishing fourth in the league last season, but they have scored more than one goal in just one of their last nine games and they are up against a team who have won their last four home games without conceding.

This test is a step up for the team who finished second in Luxembourg last season, but they showed little to threaten the United goal last week and that points to a second encounter that may not generate much goalmouth action.

Bet Builder - Dundee United to win, under 3.5 goals & draw at half-time @ 11/2 

Three elements should be combined for a Bet Builder selection, which could pay out at 11/2 should it be successful.

Dundee United look the most likely winners and can come out on top here after failing to press home their advantage beyond a single goal at Tannadice. They should not make that mistake again, but it may well be a low-scoring game again.

It could also take a bit of time for the two teams to feel their way into the contest and Strassen may be cautious in the early stages as they look to make sure they don’t throw their opportunity away.

Therefore, it seems sensible to include the half-time draw as the final component.
