Explore Coral's detailed preview for Dundee United vs Rangers in the Premiership. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 GMT match.

• Fixture: Dundee United vs Rangers

• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Tannadice Park

Dundee United will look to build on their recent draw against Kilmarnock, but their inconsistent form, marked by two losses and two draws in their last five games, suggests they might struggle against a more in-form Rangers side. The predicted 3-5-2 formation could offer some defensive solidity, but their attack will need to be more clinical to break down Rangers' defence.

Rangers, on the other hand, have been in good form, with four wins and one draw in their last five matches. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 setup should allow them to control the midfield and exploit Dundee United's defence. Given their recent performances and head-to-head record, Rangers are likely to come out on top in this encounter.

Dundee United's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five league outings. Their most recent encounter was a 1-1 draw away at Kilmarnock, which might give them some confidence going into this match. However, the two losses and two draws in their last five games suggest they will need to improve significantly to challenge a strong Rangers side.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 1-1 vs Kilmarnock (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Falkirk (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Hearts (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs St. Mirren (H)

Rangers have been in excellent form, winning four out of their last five games, with their most recent result being a 0-0 draw against Falkirk at home. This run of form, including three consecutive wins before the draw, indicates they are in good shape and should carry this momentum into their match against Dundee United. Their solid performances suggest they are likely to dominate this fixture.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Falkirk (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Livingston (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Dundee (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Hibernian (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Kilmarnock (H)

The head-to-head record between Dundee United and Rangers shows a competitive but slightly dominant edge for Rangers. In their last five encounters, Rangers have won three times and drawn twice, including the last meeting, which ended 2-2. This suggests that while Dundee United can challenge Rangers, the latter have generally come out on top in recent meetings.

• Predicted lineup: Richards (GK), Iovu (DF), Graham (DF), Keresztes (DF), Strain (MF), Camara (MF), Sibbald (MF), Stephenson (MF), Ferry (MF), Sapsford (AT), Watters (AT)

Dundee United's predicted 3-5-2 formation should provide a solid defensive base with Iovu, Graham, and Keresztes at the back. The midfield five, including Strain, Camara, Ferry, Sibbald, and Stephenson, will need to work hard to control the game and support the attacking duo of Sapsford and Watters.

• Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier (DF), Djiga (DF), Fernandez (DF), Aarons (DF), Barron (MF), Raskin (MF), Antman (MF), Aasgaard (MF), Bajrami (MF), Miovski (AT)

Rangers' predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see them dominate possession with Barron and Raskin anchoring the midfield. The attacking quartet of Bajrami, Antman, Raskin, and Miovski should provide plenty of options going forward, while the back four of Tavernier, Aarons, Djiga, and Fernandez will aim to keep Dundee United's attacks at bay.

• Watters vs Fernandez: Watters will need to use his physicality to challenge Fernandez's defensive positioning.

• Camara vs Aasgaard: Camara's ability to control the midfield will be tested by Aasgaard's dynamic play.

• Camara (Dundee United): Camara's role in the midfield will be vital to Dundee United's chances of controlling the tempo of the game.

• Barron (Rangers): Barron's defensive midfield presence will be key in breaking up Dundee United's attacks and maintaining Rangers' control.
