Match Time & Date:
13 May 2023
15:00
Prediction: 2-1
Ross County
There will be fireworks when Dundee United and Ross County face each other at Tannadice Park in Saturday’s relegation six-pointer. Following three consecutive wins, Dundee Utd suffered a 1-0 loss to St Johnstone at the weekend and, as a result, their Premier League status is in great danger. Experienced defender Charlie Mulgrew misses the match through suspension, while all Liam Smith, Peter Pawlett, and Dylan Levitt should miss out with injuries.
The Staggies, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Livingston, but given their poor away record in the 2022/2023 season, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. You should know that the Terrors defeated Hibernian and Livingston in the previous two home fixtures. As for the visiting side, all Paton, Callachan, Brophy, Edwards, and Purrington are sidelined with injuries.
