Match Facts

  • Dundee United have won four of their last five home league games against Aberdeen, with the exception a 1-3 defeat in March 2023.

  • Aberdeen have only lost one of their last five league games against Dundee United (W3 D1), although are winless in their last two (D1 L1), losing their last away from home in December (1-0).

  • Dundee United have only lost their final league game in one of their last five Scottish Premiership seasons (W3 D1), although that was their last campaign in the division in 2022-23 (2-3 v Motherwell).

  • Aberdeen haven’t won on the final day of the season in any of their last four league campaigns (D2 L2) – they had won their final game in four successive league seasons before this (including curtailed 2019-20).

  • A win in this match would see Dundee United become the first newly promoted side to finish in the Scottish Premiership’s top four since Hearts in 2021-22 (3rd). It would also see the Tangerines compete in UEFA Europa League qualifying for the first time since 2012-13.
