I think Sunday’s Dundee derby in the Scottish Premiership will be closer than the pre-match odds suggest. Dundee United come into this clash as odds-on favourites, but they’ve only toppled their fierce rivals in 1 of their 3 attempts this season so far, failing to do so in each of the last 2.
In fact, Dundee ran out 1-0 winners at this venue at the turn of the year, and they’ve since staged a dramatic comeback to claim a 2-2 draw against Dundee United at home last month. As such, I think Steven Pressley’s side look well placed to score at least once at Tannadice on Sunday afternoon. The Dark Blues have made the net bulge in 7 of their last 8 Scottish Premiership outings, notably striking twice in 6 of those contests.
The case for backing a minimum of one Dundee goal on Sunday is further strengthened by the fact that Dundee United have failed to keep the back door shut in 28 of their 33 Scottish Premiership matches this season, shipping 2 goals when hosting bottom club Livingston last time out.
