Dundee Utd v St Mirren: top-six push meets revival bid | OneFootball

Dundee Utd host St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership at Tannadice on Saturday, 24 January 2026, with seventh taking on 10th as the hosts chase the top six and the visitors seek a lift.

Dundee Utd and St Mirren have shared the league meetings this season. Dundee Utd won 3-1 in October before St Mirren hit back 2-0 in December. They start six points apart in mid table.

The Arabs' recent run mixes a 3-1 win at Livingston and a 1-1 draw at Aberdeen with a heavy defeat at Celtic, plus a Scottish Cup victory over Ayr Utd. St Mirren stopped a three-game league losing streak with a 1-1 draw at Livingston, days after knocking the same opponents out of the cup on penalties.

United have scored 28 goals in 22 league games but kept only three clean sheets, while St Mirren have 17 goals and five shutouts. Zachary Sapsford leads the home threat with six league goals, with Ivan Dolcek on five. For St Mirren, Mikael Mandron has four league goals and Declan John has provided four assists. The visitors deliver a high volume of open-play crosses and could look to test United's back line from wide areas.

A win would move The Arabs to 28 points and could pull them towards the top six pack. St Mirren would climb to 22 with victory and may close in on ninth placed Dundee while easing pressure in the lower half.
