Dundee v Dundee United: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The fourth round of the Scottish Cup concludes on Monday evening with local bragging rights to the fore as Dundee welcome neighbours Dundee United to Dens Park.

The visiting side are unbeaten in the last eight meetings of these Tayside rivals and were victorious at Dens Park already this month, but Dundee will be going all out to put that right now.

Dundee v Dundee United betting tips and predictions

Draw - 9/4

There is every reason to believe this Tayside derby might require more than 90 minutes to find a winner.

United are unbeaten in eight meetings with their nearest neighbours, the Dee having to go right back to August 2017 for their most recent victory in this fixture.

Back on January 2nd Jim Goodwin's visiting side won 2-1 at Dens Park as Sam Dalby pounced from six yards in the 88th minute to win the contest.

The teams were minutes from ending level, which would have been the fifth stalemate in six meetings. There is a lot riding on this and it could be edgy with a place in the draw for the last-16 up for grabs.

The Terrors, in third, have 10 points in hand over their hosts in the Scottish Premiership, with Dundee down in seventh.

The Tangerines have lost two of their three games since that New Year's win here, while that late reverse is Dundee's sole loss in five games.

They could be hard to split and it may go to extra-time, while two of the last three Dundee derbies have ended 2-2, an outcome priced at 11/1 on this occasion.

Sam Dalby to score first - 9/2

Striker Dalby is on loan at United for the season from Wrexham and the 25-year-old Englishman is having a big impact north of the border.

He sent the visiting fans into raptures with his late winner here 18 days ago and could further embellish his place in the folklore of the Dundee derby by opening the scoring now.

When he fired in that late winner here, it was his 10th goal in 13 appearances in a rich vein of form.

He's failed to score in three since, but United fired blanks in their losses to Hearts and Celtic before a 1-0 win at St Mirren last time.

Dalby has proven he can take chances and his movement should see him in the right spots if the visitors can lay on the service inside the 18-yard box.

Ethan Ingram to be booked - 11/4

It should be a fiery encounter with local pride at stake and a cup tie atmosphere under the lights at Dens Park.

Ethan Ingram comes into this game after impressive displays for Dundee in their recent draws here with Rangers and Celtic.

The 21-year-old defender was benched when these sides met earlier in the month and has been in and out of Tony Docherty's side in recent months.

His performances against both sides of the Glasgow divide should be enough to maintain a starting role, either in a back-three or slightly further forward in a wing-back role.

He collected eight yellow cards in 23 outings on loan at Salford City last season and the former England underage international has three cautions in his last six Dundee appearances, so he's a prime candidate to come to the referee's attention again.
