Dundee Utd vs St. Mirren

Dundee United Look to Bounce Back Against St Mirren

Dundee United will aim to end their recent slump when they welcome St Mirren to Tannadice Park on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts, currently fifth, have suffered consecutive defeats and now sit three points adrift of the European places. Meanwhile, St Mirren occupy sixth place, trailing Dundee United by five points in the standings.

After securing promotion as Scottish Championship winners last season, Dundee United have enjoyed a strong return to the top flight. They’ve spent most of the campaign in the top six, only briefly dropping to seventh after two opening draws.

Under Jim Goodwin, the Tangerines finished the regular season in fourth place with 50 points (14 wins, 8 draws, 11 losses). However, their form has dipped since the league split, suffering heavy defeats to Celtic (5-0) and Hibernian (3-1).

With just three games left, Dundee United remain within touching distance of Aberdeen in fourth—only three points behind—and will be desperate to reignite their European qualification hopes with a much-needed win.

They can take confidence from their dominant recent record against St Mirren, having won the last four meetings in all competitions.

As for the visitors, St Mirren sit sixth with 45 points (13 wins, 6 draws, 16 losses) from 35 matches and will look to close the gap on their hosts with a positive result.
