Dundee Utd v Aberdeen: mid-table rivals seek breathing space | OneFootball

Dundee Utd host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership at Tannadice Park on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, with seventh facing eighth and both looking to climb the table.

Separated by three points after 24 games, Dundee Utd and Aberdeen drew 1-1 on 27 December and meet again with little margin for error in the lower half.

The Arabs come in on a rough league run, losing four of their past five in the Premiership, including 3-0 at home to Hearts and 3-2 at Hibernian, though they did beat Ayr Utd in the cup. The Dons have been up and down, thumping Livingston 6-2 before a 3-0 defeat at Kilmarnock, following back to back losses against Rangers and a setback at Falkirk.

United may lean on wide service and aerial moments, with 333 open play crosses at 24.62% accuracy and four headed league goals. Zachary Sapsford has six Premiership goals, with Ivan Dolcek on five. The Dons tend to keep the ball better, posting 48% possession and 79.26% passing accuracy, and could look to supply Marco Lazetic, who has four league goals, with Stuart Armstrong leading their creative output on four assists. Notably, Aberdeen have yet to score a set piece league goal this season.

A win would take Aberdeen to 31 points and strengthen their grip on seventh. Victory for United would move them to 28 points, level with the Dons, and ease pressure in the bottom half.
