Dundee United
DDWLWW
Dundee United will be looking for a repeat result of a 4-0 League Cup success versus Spartans.
For Dundee United, the scorers were Lachlan Rose (26', 64'), Dylan Tait (73') and Zac Sapsford (93').
A common theme in recent Dundee United games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their prior six matches before this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would have lost.
Rangers
WLLLLW
Rangers will go into this game after a 2-5 Premiership win as they beat Falkirk in their last match.
In that game, Rangers managed 45% possession and 15 shots on goal with 7 on target. For Rangers, the goals were scored by Youssef Chermiti (2', 6', 47'), Jack Butland (7' Own goal), Djeidi Gassama (27') and Thelo Aasgaard (79'). At the other end, Falkirk had 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Calvin Miller (44') scored for Falkirk.
The stats tell the story, and Rangers have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 15 goals overall. In defence, Rangers have been far from perfect. That kind of pattern might not follow through into this match, of course.

🗞️
Team News: Dundee United
We are thinking that The Tangerines could go for a 4-3-3 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Jack Walton, Dario Naamo, Iurie Iovu, Michael Forbes, Will Ferry, Panutche Camará, Dylan Tait, Julius Eskesen, Jesse Randall, Lachlan Rose and Zachary Sapsford.
📋
Team News: Rangers
Due to a mostly available squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Rangers boss Derek McInnes to contend with. José Cifuentes (Knee injury) won’t be in action.
We are inclined to think that The Gers seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Ivor Pandur, Ross McCrorie, Emmanuel Fernandez, Ben Godfrey, Tuur Rommens, Dan Neil, Tochi Chukwuani, Findlay Curtis, Mohamed Diomande, Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti.
💭
Prediction
We’re of the view that Dundee United will likely be able to get a goal against this Rangers outfit, but a single goal likely won’t be enough to avoid defeat.
Therefore, we’re predicting a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Rangers at full-time. Let’s just see how this one goes.
