Dundee Utd v Rangers

Dundee United vs Rangers Preview

Dundee United responded in positive fashion to two recent back-to-back defeats in the Scottish Premiership last time out with a 1-0 win away from home at St Mirren which has helped Sunday lunchtime's hosts up into third place in the Premiership table ahead of this tough looking clash at home to second placed Rangers at Tannadice Park.

Rangers extended their unbeaten run to six games in the Scottish top flight last time out with a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Aberdeen which followed previous wins against the likes of Celtic and St Johnstone respectively, along with stalemates against Motherwell, Hibernian and Dundee.

Despite being dealt a few losses in recent times with losses at the hands of Motherwell, Hearts and Celtic, Dundee United have lost only these three games within their previous 13 matches overall which also includes collecting six wins in the process as well.

Three of Dundee united's six recent wins have been achieved on home soil at Tannadice Park with victories gained at the expense of Ross County, St Mirren and Aberdeen respectively, although the bigger picture shows results in their own backyard have been pretty ordinary with just seven wins under their belts along with being dealt nine defeats.

Rangers still occupy second place in the Scottish Premiership but the visitors also still trail their old foes and league leaders, Celtic, by a significant 13 points ahead of this weekend's action north of the border.

Nevertheless, The Gers have posted recent important victories against Celtic, St Johnstone and Aberdeen respectively while the bigger picture shows the visitors have slipped to just the one defeat in their previous 13 league matches in the Scottish Premiership.

Having collected eight wins within these previous 13 games, Rangers look in good shape to add to their points tally at Tannadice Park on Sunday lunchtime, although recent results on the road have left a lot to be desired where Philippe Clement's side are concerned.

The wider picture shows Rangers have actually managed to capture just four wins from their last 16 outings on the road in the Scottish Premiership, but it is worth mentioning that one of these away wins came in the shape of a 1-0 win at Dundee United back in mid-September.

In addition, 12 out of Rangers' last 16 away games in the domestic top flight have also produced three or less goals as well.

Dundee United v Rangers Verdict

Dundee United have produced an impressive string of results so far in this season's Scottish Premiership campaign which has helped Jim Goodwin's side into third spot but Rangers possess greater depth in their squad and the visitors should be able to find a way to collect all three points here on Sunday.

Therefore, our main bet will be Rangers win @ 1.50

Other side bets worth considering:

Rangers win & Under 4 goals @ 2.50

Correct Score: Rangers 1-0 @ 8.50
