Dundee Utd Women vs Partick Thistle Women tips and predictions

Won't be easy for Dundee Utd

The home side isn't expected to pose much of a threat but Partick Thistle backers should not be counting their chickens just yet.

Dundee Utd will take encouragement from some of Partick Thistle 's vulnerabilities in their recent results. The last 20 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 16 times in those 20 starts. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

And there are other signs in the historical data to suggest they have been overestimated. They're the superior team but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten.

Dundee Utd need to accept that their chances are likely to come against the run of play. If the hosts are really up for it, they'll have gained a lot confidence from their previous outings. What about the home side's recent form on their own soil? They scored two or more goals in 2 of their recent 4 home matches and their determination has been evident all over the field. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 1 of their last 3 games.

There have been periods when Partick Thistle have lost their shape and they haven't had the right stuff near their 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more goals in 16 of their last 18 matches. Further, there could be some evidence that their potency has taken a dip. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 10 of their last 19 matches.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is crucial that they take their chances. The data points to their decent attacking skills. They'll need to be at their best if they have genuine ambitions to deny the visitors. Most people think it will be impossible.

If Partick Thistle are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. That's why the BTTS No bet is the most compelling side bet.
