Dundee United vs Rangers Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 331

Fresh from their stunning victory in the Europa Conference League, Rangers return to the Scottish Premiership looking to keep the pressure on Celtic at the summit of the league when they make a trip to Tannadice Park to take on Dundee United in a crucial fixture on Sunday afternoon with kickoff at 15:00.

Dundee United are currently on a strong run having gone unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions claiming back-to-back draws and back-to-back victories and impressively the Terrors have not conceded a single goal in the run displaying the strength in the defence. They will need their strong defence as they come up against a rampant Rangers side that has already scored 55 goals this season.

They beat Motherwell 2-0 in their previous league encounter at home on Feb ninth with Dylan Levitt and Tony Watt sealing the deal for Tam Courts’ side. The win saw the Terrors leapfrog the Steelmen to the fourth spot on goal difference as they are now level on 33 points.

United will now be looking to continue their good run when they meet the defending champions this weekend. They will draw confidence from their 1-0 shock victory against their visitors earlier this season at Tannadice.

However, they host highly motivated Rangers, who are brimming with confidence following their dominating performance at Signal Iduna Park that saw them stun Borussia Dortmund 4-2 in their first leg of the Conference League last-32 on Thursday night.

The win extended their winning streak to four matches since losing to Celtic. They have been dominant in the run claiming three clean sheets while finding the back of the net 14 times in the process, proving to have returned to their best form.

With 62 points from 26 matches, Rangers sit in the second place one point behind league leaders Celtic and will be looking to keep their momentum as they aim at staying close to the summit.
