Aberdeen form and stats
This stadium, Pittodrie Stadium, has been a fortress for Aberdeen in the Premiership so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-0-1. Ever since the Motherwell game Aberdeen has been unbeatable here at Pittodrie Stadium producing four straight wins.
In their previous game, the manager Goodwin led his Aberdeen to a defeat away at Livingston. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pittodrie Stadium. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Miovski for missing a penalty kick versus Livingston in the 45th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. The forward Kennedy was named "man of the match" for Aberdeen with the rating of 7.45/10. Kennedy hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Ahead of that match, Aberdeen won a home game hosting Hibernian (4-1).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Aberdeen's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 5 matches, drawn 0 and lost 3.
Goals, goals, goals? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league games with this side has seen three or more goals.

Dundee United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dundee United so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Dundee are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Dundee United had fun at their own home (Pittodrie Stadium) last time out, beating Kilmarnock 4-0. McGrath, Freeman, Levitt and Middleton scored. Those three points felt nice as this team had gone four league rounds without victory. As you can tell from the results above, Dundee United was very dominant against Kilmarnock, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with McGrath, Freeman, Levitt and Middleton providing the goals. McGrath, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.43. McGrath scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 38 total).
Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Celtic's place.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dundee playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
It's early days yet, but Dundee United has scored 7 and conceded 14 goals from their travels in the league so far (7 games). Dundee United has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
