Having both scraped into the Championship group of the Scottish Premiership table, Dundee United and Motherwell will do battle at Tannadice Park on Saturday.
With the top three already decided, Saturday's meeting in Dundee will play a major role in the battle for fourth place with the hosts just one point better off than their opponents.
We say: Dundee United 1-1 Motherwell
The league records show these two sides are evenly matched, and we predict a share of the spoils on Saturday.
Both looking to bounce back from defeats, they should cause one another problems but may be somewhat reserved given the stakes in the race for fourth spot.

Hearts will welcome Ross County to Tynecastle on Saturday, in the second round of fixtures of the second phase of the Scottish domestic season.
A win over Dundee United last time out confirmed a third-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership table for the hosts with four games left to play, while the visitors find themselves in a fight for fourth spot after scraping into the Championship group when the league split.
We say: Hearts 3-1 Ross County
Despite their extensive injury troubles, Hearts come into the game with plenty of momentum, and we see them picking up another win at Tynecastle.
Neilson has plenty of dangerous attackers to pick from, and the Jambos may have too much for their visitors on Saturday.

With four games of the league season left to play, Dundee will aim to keep their slim survival hopes alive on Saturday, when they travel to Pittodrie Stadium to take on Aberdeen.
The visitors currently sit at the foot of the Scottish Premiership table, five points adrift of the relegation playoff place, while their hosts also find themselves in the bottom six after a disappointing campaign.
We say: Aberdeen 1-1 Dundee
Aberdeen look far from their best, while Dundee have at least been able to pick up points in recent games, and we see a draw as the most likely outcome.
Goodwin is yet to get his side playing to their full potential, and they could be held by a team fighting for their lives at the bottom of the league.

Having both made winning starts to the second phase of the Scottish top-flight season, Livingston and Hibernian will square off at Almondvale on Saturday.
Having both dropped into the bottom half of the league after the split, the two sides find themselves in a battle for seventh place with only goal difference separating them at this stage.
We say: Livingston 1-1 Hibernian
Hibernian boast a strong squad, but one badly hit by injuries, and they may have to settle for a point on their travels against a Livingston side who can be particularly resilient.

A vital clash as the bottom of the Scottish Premiership takes place on Saturday, when St Mirren travel to McDiarmid Park, where they will face St Johnstone, who sit five points behind their visitors in 11th spot.
St Johnstone have four games left to climb out of the relegation playoff position, and they come up against a St Mirren side low in confidence after five consecutive defeats in all competitions.
We say: St Johnstone 0-1 St Mirren
Despite St Mirren entering this clash in poor form, they have been more effective on their travels this season, and will look to extend the gap between themselves and 11th spot this weekend.
With both teams not overly productive in the final third, this may be a low-scoring affair, but nonetheless, it will be a closely-fought encounter due to the position of both sides in the table.
