Prediction: 1-1
Dundee United
Aberdeen will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run when they take on Dundee United at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Dons are eager to climb to the Championship group berth, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Dundee United. All Marley Watkins, Andrew Considine, and Michael Devlin should miss out with injuries for the hosts, while Connor McLennan is pushing for a start.
The Terrors, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures. Dundee United did well to hold Rangers to a draw at the weekend, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Aberdeen. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Pittodrie Stadium, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Funso Ojo ):
Funso Ojo is a Belgium international who plays for Aberdeen as a midfielder. Ojo was born in Antwerp on August 28, 1991, starting his youth career at Olse Merksem. In 2004 he was spotted by PSV scouts, moving to Eindhoven very soon.

Speaking of his international career, Ojo has one cap with the Belgium U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Belgium senior team. His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a defensive midfielder. As his parents are of Nigeria descent, the Aberdeen footballer has a dual citizenship.
