Scottish Football: New-look United can continue hot streak, says Dino Vita

PRO PUNTER Dino Vita (@VitaDino) is delving in to the Scottish Championship in search of a winning NAP this weekend.

Queen of the South v Dundee United | Saturday 16th February 2019, 15:00

My selection this weekend comes from the Scottish Championship as promotion-chasing Dundee Utd travel south to face Queen of the South.

United sit six points off the top and need to put a run together to start closing the gap. Robbie Neilson has been backed in the transfer window and it’s been so-far-so-good as the Tangerines have won both games since the window shut.

Last weekend the Arabs won 2-1 at Premiership St Mirren in the Scottish Cup so they come into this clash in great form.

Queen of the South sit in fifth, just outside the play-off places, after a run of only one win in their last five games. Queens have conceded seven goals in their last two defeats after losing 3-0 and 4-1 to Falkirk and Aberdeen.

If United (11/8 BetVictor) have any hopes of promotion they can’t afford to drop many more points and their new-look side should continue their good form by taking all three points on Saturday.
