Command Analysis

Dundee United

Current form
Before the start of the season, Dundee United were not considered contenders for a place in the top six, the selection of players did not allow them to set such ambitious goals.

The "tangerines" have already broken away from seventh Hibernian by nine points and still have a match in hand. Having beaten Dundee 2:1 in the last round, Dundee United won their third victory in a row.

Hearts

2.29Tip and bets
Dundee United are in great form, having won their last three matches – the hosts will probably set themselves the maximum tasks today in an attempt to consolidate their place in the top six. It is obvious that Hearts’ defense will have big problems today – the visitors concede a lot and regularly, it will be almost impossible to hold out against such an opponent away from home. At the same time, the “maroons” will also take risks, the tournament position obliges them, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on the outcome
"Dundee United" can be safely called the favorite of the match - in terms of the selection of players, the "tangerines" do not have superiority over the opponent, but at the same time in terms of the quality of football they have a significant advantage, which is reflected in the tournament table, and in general throughout the season they look stable. "Hearts" from time to time give good matches at home, but on the road the "maroons" allow failure after failure, it is unlikely that the guests will be able to put up serious resistance in such a state.
