• Fixture: Dundee Utd vs Motherwell
• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Tannadice Park

Dundee Utd will be looking to bounce back from their recent loss to St Mirren, but their inconsistent form might make it challenging. With a predicted 3-5-2 formation, they'll rely heavily on the attacking duo of Möller and Sapsford to break through Motherwell's solid defence. The midfield battle between Stephenson and Fadinger could be crucial, with Dundee Utd needing to control the game's tempo to have a chance.

Motherwell, on the other hand, come into this match with strong momentum after a convincing win against Livingston. Their 4-2-3-1 setup should allow them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. With key players like Watt and Stamatelopoulos in form, Motherwell are likely to continue their winning streak.

Dundee Utd's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 0-2 loss away to St Mirren, which could impact their confidence going into this game. However, the two draws against strong teams like Rangers and Kilmarnock show they can compete at a high level, suggesting they might be able to put up a fight against Motherwell.

• Draw: 2-2 vs Rangers (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Heart Of Midlothian (A)

Motherwell are in excellent form, having won three of their last five matches, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Livingston in their latest outing. Their ability to secure wins at home and draw away from home demonstrates a solid team performance. This momentum should give them a significant advantage as they face Dundee Utd.

• Draw: 0-0 vs Falkirk (A)
• Draw: 0-0 vs Heart Of Midlothian (H)

Dundee Utd are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Iovu, Graham, and Keresztes forming a solid defensive line.
