The hosts finished in 11th position last year, only staying in the top flight through a 6-1 aggregate victory over Raith Rovers in a playoff tie, while the visitors secured promotion by winning the Scottish Championship.

Don Cowie, who took over as Ross County interim boss in February before earning the permanent job in May, will be hoping he can steer clear of a third successive relegation playoff tie this season.

Ross County are enjoying a fantastic run of form since the closing stages of last season, unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions, with eight wins in that period.

They secured a well-earned point from a tough match against Motherwell in their opening game last weekend, and Cowie will be hoping his side can take their first three points of the campaign against newly-promoted opposition.

Dundee United also secured a point in their first game back in the top flight since their disappointing relegation in 2022-23, a season in which they fell from 10th to 12th in the table after failing to win any of their five post-split season matches.

Jim Goodwin’s side had a brilliant start in the Championship, going unbeaten in their first 14 matches, and although they did go on to lose five of their remaining 22 games, they comfortably won the league with a six-point lead over second place.

Despite starting the 2024-25 campaign with a dismal defeat to Falkirk FC in the Scottish Cup, Dundee United have since won three and drawn two of their following five games, leaving them in positive form heading into this contest.

Their first game in the Scottish Premiership pitted them against rivals Dundee FC in the first Dundee derby of the season, and Goodwin will be pleased with his side’s 2-2 draw against a team that finished in the top half in the past campaign.

Ross County vs. Dundee United Head to head

In the 38 previous meetings between these two teams, Ross County have claimed 10 victories while Dundee United have won 22, and they have drawn in six. Dundee have scored 54 goals and conceded 47 in the process.
