Aberdeen vs Dundee United Prediction: Aberdeen have a point to prove

Pittodrie Stadium will host the Premiership encounter between Aberdeen and Dundee United. The two teams suffered a defeat in their last league game. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Aberdeen

Aberdeen played Aberdeen the previous weekend and ended on the losing end. In a 5-1 contest, Shayden Morris's strike in the 90th minute was all this team could take at full time. In the meantime, Aberdeen's prior encounters to that defeat saw them go on a three-game winning run. In those matches, Aberdeen defeated Dundee FC, Dunfermline, and Kilmarnock, ending 1-2, 3-0, and 1-0. Ahead of this game, the home team has 40 points from their first 28 matches, leaving them seated in third place. 

Dundee United

Dundee United's last league game was against Hibernian and they lost. In a 1-3 encounter, this team gave up a 6th-minute lead from Ross Graham's strike, as they conceded twice in the second half after their opponent levelled the goal before the break. Heading into this game, this team has only one win in their last six matches, coming against Motherwell. In that run, the visitors lost to Celtic, Kilmarnock, Rangers and Dundee FC. With 40 points, Dundee United sit 5th in the standings with 34 goals scored and 34 conceded. 

Expert Betting Tips

I expect Aberdeen to return to winning ways here following a struggling play against Celtic last weekend. However, Dundee United have failed to step up in consecutive matches, and I feel this could be another struggling game on the road. This should be a tight contest, and with this game expected to end with few goals, I will back Aberdeen to win.
