Prediction: 2-1
Dundee United
Pittodrie Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Aberdeen and Dundee United. The Dons have been producing fine displays in the Conference League qualifiers, and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win the season opener. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be talented midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who scored a brace in the 5-1 win over Hacken.
The Terrors, on the other hand, have been performing well in the League Cup, with the team beating all Kelty Hearts, Elgin City, Arbroath, and East Fife in the process. However, they face an uphill task in Sunday’s clash against Aberdeen, who have turned their Pittodrie Stadium into a real fortress. Summer signing Charlie Mulgrew is likely to make his Dundee United debut in the Premiership against the Dons. In their last encounter in the Scottish top flight Dundee Utd defeated Aberdeen 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
