• Peterhead forced Partick Thistle into extra time.
• Peterhead have only lost by two or more goals twice in their last seven away.

Peterhead can avoid heavy loss

Dundee United are the heavy favourites ahead of their League Cup clash with Peterhead but Saturday’s game isn’t necessarily a straightforward assignment for the hosts,

After suffering relegation from the Premiership last season, the Terrors have lost their opening two games in this competition – including a demoralising defeat to Lowland League outfit Spartans.

Peterhead finished last season with a five game winless run but managed to hold Partick to a 1-1 draw in their League Cup opener, their only game of the campaign so far, before losing out on penalties.

The visitors may not be able to get a result but they can at least avoid a big loss against their out-of-sorts hosts at Tannadice and backing Peterhead with a +2 handicap appeals as the main bet.

Goals could be at a premium in this clash at Dundee United have managed just one goal in two games this term and Peterhead failed to score in seven of their final 10 away outings last season. It may be a case of ‘any win will do’ for Tangerines boss Jim Goodwin after their poor start and they can edge out a 1-0 victory.
