Dundee Utd – ST Johnstone

Match analysis

Dundee United host a crucial clash with seventh‑placed St Johnstone, a game that could see the Dens Park side climb out of the bottom‑half after gathering just five points from one win, two draws and three defeats. Johnstone sit two points above United with seven points, having secured two victories and a draw, but their goal difference of –1 (8‑9) remains marginally better than Dundee’s –6 (6‑11). Both teams will be desperate to close the gap to the safety zone, and the recent head‑to‑head record adds an extra edge to a fixture that could prove pivotal in the fight for survival. A positive result for Dundee United would not only narrow the points gap but also boost their morale ahead of the final stretch of the season.
