Aberdeen form and stats
6 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Aberdeen have to build on here at Pittodrie Stadium in the Premiership.
Aberdeen shared the glory with Motherwell in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Bates was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.52 out of 10. The defender Bates hit one key pass and won 14 of 19 duels.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus St. Johnstone that ended 1-1.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 six games, won three matches, drawn one and lost two.
There will be little rest for Aberdeen after this match as they are travelling to Hearts for a Premiership game in only four days.
Aberdeen has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Dundee United form and stats
There's been little loot from Dundee United's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Premiership. Dundee United only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 6 draws. Dundee United has drawn their two previous away games.
Dundee United's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Rangers that finished 1-1. Graham, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.33. Graham scored one goal and won 10 of 12 duels.
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.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dundee manager Courts as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Livingston.
The attacking power of Dundee United when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
