Sixth hosts fifth, with Ross County unable to catch Dundee United as the Scottish Premiership season draws to a conclusion. It's been a great campaign for County, securing their first top-six finish since 2015-16. Many had tipped the Staggies to be amongst the favourites for relegation, so the fact that they kept their European aspirations alive until the second last game of the season speaks volumes about the job that Malky Mackay has done in Dingwall. They'll be looking to end a great season on a high here. It's also been a superb season for Dundee United and Tam Courts. Having only previously managed Kelty Hearts in the East of Scotland Football League and the Lowland League, to make the transition from a role in United's academy to becoming their manager has proved a masterstroke. The Terrors are back in continental competition for the first time since 2012-13, where they faced Dynamo Moscow in Europa League qualifying. Ross County will finish in sixth regardless, but if United claim a point then they may sneak into fourth at Motherwell's expense. 1:1
Malky Mackay named two changes to the Staggies side that held Hearts at home courtesy of a 0-0 draw at Tynecastle, before a 1-0 defeat to Motherwell in Dingwall on Saturday which damaged their European hopes. Club captain Keith Watson replaced Connor Randall at right-back. David Cancola made way for Jack Burroughs on the left, as Blair Spittal dropped into central midfield to partner Jordan Tillson in front of the back four. Regan Charles-Cook was replaced by Joseph Hungbo on the right. And Jordan White made way for Dominic Samuel in attack. Seeing as they now have nothing to play for, the Staggies may well select their strongest eleven here. Tam Courts named six changes after United's 2-0 loss to reigning champions Rangers at Ibrox, before they shared the spoils with newly-crowned champions Celtic in a 1-1 draw at Tannadice on Wednesday. Lewis Neilson and Ross Graham made way from the back three, Adrian Sporle and Charlie Mulgrew dropped out of the five-man midfield. Meanwhile, Tony Watt and Mathew Anim Cudjoe both sat amongst the substitutes against the Celts. The incoming Scott McMann joined Liam Smith and Ryan Edwards at the back. Kieran Freeman, Kevin McDonald and Ilmari Niskanen started in midfield. And, in attack, Nicky Clark was given the nod alongside 16-year-old Rory MacLeod.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Dundee United's last 11 away games (Premiership). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Ross County's last 7 home games (Premiership). Ross County have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 home matches against Dundee United in all competitions. Dundee United have failed to win 12 of their last 13 away matches (Premiership). Dundee United are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 matches against Ross County in all competitions.
