Dundee United aim to build on a 3-1 win over Livingston and given Dundee FC’s difficulties on the road, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Terrors have been difficult to beat recently with a DWDDW sequence, and their home numbers reflect a balanced side: 1.00 goals scored, 1.40 conceded, and 60% BTTS at Tannadice. Graham, Pappoe, and Strain are all out of contention with injuries, but should not be sorely missed.
The Dark Blues, meanwhile, head into the local derby boosted by back-to-back home wins despite poor away form, having collected only 0.20 PPG and failing to score in 80% of their road matches. Dundee FC's overall average of 0.40 away goals scored highlights ongoing attacking struggles away from home. Dundee FC midfielder Finlay Robertson is likely to miss out, but he is not a first-team regular.
Given Dundee FC's poor away form, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals (64% H2H) and BTTS (64%).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 3 January 2026 at 15:00.
