Ninth hosts tenth at Tannadice on Saturday in Dundee Utd vs Hibernian, a Scottish Premiership fixture between two sides separated by a single point after stuttering starts.
Dundee United arrive buoyed by an emphatic 3-0 win at St Mirren. Tannadice has been far less kind, with the hosts still waiting for a home league win this season.
Hibernian hand Marink Reedijk his first game in charge following David Gray's dismissal. Seven points from as many league outings explains why the capital club crave a new manager bounce.
Hibernian are undefeated in their last 6 matches against Dundee United in all competitions. Both teams have scored in 9 of the last 9 Scottish Premiership meetings, so goals look on.
Dundee Utd vs Hibernian Form
United's best stuff has come away from home, capped by a 3-0 win at St Mirren in their last league outing and an earlier rout of Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. The home draw with Falkirk showed the softer side. Jesse Randall is the man to watch going forward, getting a shot away on target in four of his last five Premiership outings.
Hibs went into the international break off a narrow home defeat to Kilmarnock and a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen, hardly the form of a side in rhythm. Reedijk used the break for a warm-weather camp in La Manga. Martin Boyle remains their focal point, getting two or more shots away in every single one of his last six outings against this opponent.

Dundee Utd vs Hibernian Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Dundee United 1-2 Hibernian. This Dundee Utd vs Hibernian prediction backs the away side, available at 6/4 with Bet365, because Hibs' threat down the flanks and their unbeaten run against United outweigh a Tannadice side still searching for a home league win this season. United's set-piece threat makes a goal at the other end realistic, but a new-manager lift and Martin Boyle's appetite for this fixture tip it Hibs' way.
Best Bets
Adam Mayor Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market. The Hibernian left wing-back is part of an attacking, cross-heavy away side. Mayor kept his place at left wing-back in Hibs' latest line-up, and this is a side that loves to attack down the wings, cross often and take plenty of shots. Our projections put this one at around 77%, well clear of the implied probability in the price.
Martin Boyle to score at any time, in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He leads the Hibernian attack. Of our Dundee Utd vs Hibernian best bets, this is the one with the strongest footing. Boyle has found the net in three of his previous four league meetings with this opponent and leads the line for the side we fancy. Our projections rate his scoring probability at around 43%, comfortably above the implied probability of his price.
Dundee Utd vs Hibernian Bet Builder
Our Dundee Utd vs Hibernian bet builder tips combine a Martin Boyle goal, a Will Ferry card, and shots legs for Jesse Randall and Dylan Tait.
Martin Boyle to score anytime: he has found the net in three of his previous four league meetings with United, and he spearheads the side we fancy.
Will Ferry to be shown a card: Ferry has picked up a booking in two of his last three Premiership outings. This fixture rarely stays tame, either.
Jesse Randall over 0.5 shots on target: Randall has worked the keeper in four of his last five league games, in a United side that takes plenty of shots.
Dylan Tait over 1.5 shots: Tait has had two or more efforts in each of his last four Premiership appearances, and United are good at creating long-range shooting opportunities.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 30/1 and is as short as 23/1 elsewhere.

Dundee Utd vs Hibernian Talking Points
The big story is Marink Reedijk's debut in the Hibs dugout. The Dutchman arrived after guiding SK Beveren to the Challenger Pro League title and promotion to the Belgian Pro League without losing a league game, and he has already brought in winger Rabbi Matondo as his first signing. United's best route to goal is attacking set pieces, which will test a Hibs back three that has not been watertight, but Hibs are good at coming back from losing positions, so an early home goal settles nothing. The Dundee Utd vs Hibernian betting odds have the hosts at 7/4 with Coral, a fair reflection of a side that travels better than it performs at home.
