What Happened
Jim Goodwin, the manager of Dundee United, has called on his players to capitalize on their strong recent performance against Aberdeen as they prepare for their upcoming match. Dundee United has won their last three home games against Aberdeen and remains unbeaten in their last five encounters, known as the New Firm derbies.
Why It Matters
Currently, Dundee United is facing challenges in the Premiership, sitting 10 points behind Falkirk for a top-six finish.

He acknowledged the need for his team to improve their defensive performance after a recent draw with Kilmarnock, which he believes cost them crucial points.

Goodwin expressed confidence in his team’s ability to build on their successful record against Aberdeen, stating, “We still won’t give up the fight and we’ll keep going right until the end.” The outcome of these matches will be pivotal for Dundee United’s aspirations to secure a top-six position in the league.
