We’re back in SPFL Premiership action on Saturday as we make the trip to Tannadice to take on Dundee United.
Stephen Robinson
“What we haven’t done when we’ve got a good result is follow it up with another good result. We need to do that; that’s a thing that’s been missing so far is that consistency, and the belief you can go and take games to anybody at Pittodrie and away from home as well.”
Opposition Watch
Dundee United head into Saturday’s meeting in encouraging form, having gone unbeaten in their last four Premiership outings. Jim Goodwin’s side followed up an impressive 3-0 away victory over St Mirren with a 1-0 home win against Hibernian, before drawing 1-1 with St Johnstone in Perth last weekend.
That run has lifted the Tangerines to sixth in the Premiership table, with three wins, three draws and three defeats from their opening nine league fixtures. They have scored 11 goals and conceded 12, leaving them one point and one place above Aberdeen ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Tannadice has offered mixed results in the league, with United recording one win, two draws and one defeat in their four home fixtures to date. Nevertheless, with seven points collected from their last three matches, Goodwin’s men will approach the visit of Aberdeen with confidence as they look to extend their unbeaten run and move further up the table.
Mats Knoester
“They're always interesting games, always nice games, good competition.
“I'm confident we can win there, and if we can do the same things as last weekend, especially the second half, I have good confidence.”
