Dundee United v Hamilton Betting Tips
The Terriers will want to make the most of playing at home first in this tie. This is a great chance for them to build up a substantial advantage to defend in the second leg. They don’t have great home form going against the Accies though, as Dundee United have won just one of their last four at Tannadice against them. They are winless in their last four home and away the Accies (last season’s Premiership meetings). Dundee United have scored in each of their last five home games against them though and both teams to score at Ladbrokes is a quote of 10/11 and decent looking value. The Terrors have had more than a decent season home soil across all competitions, they have lost at Tannadice just once this season in a brilliant W16 D8 L1 record. They have also hit the back of the net in all but one home game this season and have netted at least two in each of their last four.
Over 2.5 goals at Ladbrokes is a quote of 11/10 and worth a punt in this one. Three of the last four between these two at Tannadice have gone over the goal line so there is a trend there. Can the Terrors get back up to the top flight at the first time of asking? Striker Simon Murray is a decent punt in the anytime goalscorer market after such a fine, produced season from him. Hamilton managed to stave off automatic relegated as they produced a big 4-0 win over Dundee on the weekend in the Premiership to ensure that they stayed second from bottom to get into this fixture. That will have been a huge relief for them, but the pressure is still one and that win snapped a four-match losing streak that they were on. Hamilton have won just two of their last nine games played (D2 L4) so aren’t in form and their away form is miserable, having gone W1 D2 L8 in their last eleven on the road in all competitions. They have failed to score in seven of those eleven away games. Can they stick in there in this first leg out on the road?
