CONCLUSION

Dundee United enter as marginal favourites, leveraging home advantage at Tannadice, superior power metrics, and better form to target a derby win. Dundee must counter with resilience to exploit any Terrors' lapses in a balanced matchup. Absent detailed set piece and xG insights leave room for surprises, but United's table edge and 1.3 point superiority suggest control. Expect a cagey affair where execution in open play decides the points in this pivotal 2nd Phase encounter.
