Match description

I predict a home win (1) — Aberdeen holds a clear defensive edge at home, conceding an average of 1.24 goals per match and keeping a clean sheet in 29% of games, while Dundee United concede 2.06 goals on average away and have only 6% of away matches without conceding. In attack Aberdeen score 1.53 goals at home on average and generate xG 1.43, whereas Dundee score 1.41 goals away with xG 1.41; Aberdeen also shows slightly better conversion (12% vs 11%) and 4.59 shots on target per match compared to 4.41 for the visitors. Short-term the visitors are more offensively productive — 10 goals in the last 5 matches (2.0 per match) versus 6 goals for the hosts (1.2 per match) and 1.8 points per match for Dundee versus 1.4 for Aberdeen — which raises their likelihood of scoring. Nevertheless, Aberdeen’s key advantages are superior possession (51% vs 42%), a positive home goal differential (+5) and a higher home win rate (35% vs Dundee’s 18% away win rate), so I assign a higher probability to the home win.
