S.P.Read Esq: Dundee United v Dundee
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the 7.45pm kick off on Tuesday in the Scottish Premiership between DUNDEE UNITED v DUNDEE and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
It was a break even recommendation last night on the buy of goals at 3 at the Hawthorns.
Although no profit made, it was nice to be ‘free rolling’ once the third goal went in – and of course there was always the opportunity for you to have traded the bet out on Star Spreads should you have wished.
Scottish Premiership action tonight and the Dundee United v Dundee derby at Tannadice Park.
No surprise to see the home side as favourites given the fact that Dundee have not won on their last six trips here and were the inferior of the two teams last season.
Both sides have started this season with a win and a loss.
Dundee United midfielder Rodney Sneijder will miss tonight’s match after falling ill. Also absentees include striker Mario Bilate (hamstring) and Paul Paton (knee).
Dundee manager Paul Hartley is hoping to have striker Rory Loy and midfielder Nicky Low back after injury whilst Paul McGowan is free to play again after his court imposed evening curfew ended.
Provisional Dundee United squad: Zwick, McGowan, Dillon, Dixon, Durnan, Donaldson, Souttar, Rankin, Erskine, Telfer, Connolly, Spittal, Fraser, Spark, Bodul, Muirhead, Murray, Anier, McCallum.
Provisional Dundee squad: Bain, Irvine, Kerr, McGinn, Konrad, McPake, Holt, Meggatt, Etxabeguren, Allan, Black, Thomson, Ferry, McGowan, Harkins, Ross, Colquhoun, Carreiro, Roberts, Stewart, Loy, Hemmings, Mitchell.

Hard to be certain which way the first bragging rights of the season will go between this pair but I’m fairly confident there will be goals and I am again a goals buyer.
I did look at bookings given it’s a feisty derby game but 56-60 is too high to tempt me in. Tonight’s ref John Beaton averaged 37 points in 33 games last season.
