Dundee United return to Premiership action hoping to build on their mixed run of form, having taken 1.30 points per game overall, though their home numbers are stronger at 1.50 PPG. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as league leaders Hearts look unstoppable at the moment. The Terrors score just 1.17 goals per home match, but their defensive record at Tannadice – conceding only 0.83 per game – gives them a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday' game. United’s xGA of 1.77 at home, though, suggests they still allow plenty of chances.
Hearts are still leading the chase for the trophy after a thrilling 2-2 draw with Celtic and despite injuries to Devlin, Kingsley, Nieuwenhof, and Pollock, they remain consistent. The Jambos are averaging 2.10 PPG overall, including an impressive 2.25 away PPG. The league leaders score 1.75 goals per away match and have kept 50% away clean sheets, showing an impressive balance. Their five-match unbeaten run (WWWDD) reinforces their status as favourites.
Historically, Hearts have controlled this matchup, winning 11 of the last 22 meetings, and the fixture traditionally brings goals, with 64% over 2.5 across previous clashes. Given Hearts' fine away form and top-spot momentum, Away Win market boasts big value, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Hearts Over 1.5
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 20:00.
