Our Tips

This Saturday evening, Pittodrie Stadium will play host to a captivating Scottish Premiership clash between Aberdeen and Dundee United. Both teams have started the 2024-25 season in superb form, promising an intense battle under the floodlights. Aberdeen, currently sitting second in the table, are tied with Celtic on points, both boasting 22 from eight matches. On the other hand, Dundee United, promoted from the Championship last season, have quickly adjusted to life in the Premiership and are holding fourth place with 15 points.

Aberdeen are fresh off a 2-2 draw against Celtic, a match where they clawed back from a two-goal deficit, demonstrating both resilience and class. That result broke their stunning 13-match winning streak across all competitions but reaffirmed their status as one of the most formidable teams in Scotland this season. Dundee United, meanwhile, are coming off the back of a dramatic 3-2 win over Hibernian, where they scored twice in injury time to snatch victory. As these two in-form teams collide, all eyes will be on Pittodrie for what promises to be an exhilarating affair.

Best Bet: Aberdeen to Win and Both Teams to Score

Aberdeen are favourites to win this match, but don’t expect it to be a walk in the park. Dundee United have shown they can be a tough nut to crack, particularly on the road, where they’ve picked up eight points from four matches. But let’s be honest, the Dons at home are an entirely different beast. They’ve scored ten goals in just four Premiership home games, though their defence has looked somewhat shaky, conceding in three of those matches.

Aberdeen’s attacking prowess speaks for itself. Despite missing Pape Habib Gueye, their top scorer with six goals, they still pack a punch with players like Ester Sokler and Jamie McGrath, both of whom have been finding the net. Aberdeen’s 2.1 goals per game average is not just a stat, it’s a statement. This team knows how to find the back of the net, and with an 11-match home winning streak in the Premiership, their attacking force seems almost unstoppable.

Yet, the cracks in their defence cannot be ignored. They’ve conceded an average of one goal per game in the league this season, and with Dundee United scoring 1.6 goals per match, the visitors are more than capable of getting on the scoresheet. Their thrilling comeback against Hibs, where they scored twice in injury time, shows a team with fight and attacking potential. Sam Dalby, in particular, will be a player to watch, as he looks to build on his first goal for Dundee United in that dramatic win.

BettingTips4You expert John Pentin summarises it perfectly: “Aberdeen’s attack will likely overpower Dundee United at home, but don’t expect a clean sheet from the Dons. Both sides should find the net in what will be an exciting contest.”

Dundee United’s resilience on the road and their ability to score late in games will keep Aberdeen’s defence on high alert. But ultimately, the home side’s firepower should be enough to see them through. A 2-1 or 3-1 victory for the Dons seems very plausible, with goals at both ends.

Correct Score Prediction: Aberdeen 3-1 Dundee United

Looking deeper into the numbers, Aberdeen’s defence, while solid, has shown vulnerability in recent matches. They’ve only managed two clean sheets in eight league games, and with Dundee United having scored 13 goals in the league so far, it’s hard to imagine the Dons keeping a clean sheet on Saturday.

However, Aberdeen’s attacking stats are even more impressive. They’ve averaged 2.1 goals per game, with nine of their 17 goals coming from inside the box. The sheer volume of chances they create – with 11.4 shots per game and an average of 2.3 big chances – indicates they’re likely to put multiple goals past a Dundee United side that, while resilient, has still conceded an average of 1.1 goals per game.

Dundee United’s backline, led by players like Emmanuel Adegboyega, will have their work cut out against Aberdeen’s relentless attack. The visitors’ defensive stats aren’t poor by any means, but they’ve been prone to lapses in concentration, especially when faced with high-quality opposition.

A 3-1 correct score feels like the most logical outcome here. Aberdeen’s attacking dominance, combined with their defensive fragility, should lead to a high-scoring affair, with Dundee United getting on the scoresheet but ultimately falling short.
