THE OPPOSITION
Last season (2019), Dundee United finished in third place, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses; they scored 46 goals (the sixth best attacking record in the SWPL 2) and conceded 30 (the third worst defensive record in the SWPL 2).
Queen’s Park faced Dundee United in the SWPL Cup back in March; however, the 2020 season was declared null and void by SWF due to Covid-19.
Dundee United lost, 4–3, to Aberdeen in their first match of the 2020–21 SWPL 2 season. The three goals were scored by Tammy Harkin, Steffi Simson and Norwegian midfielder Stina Kleppe. They then drew, 1–1, against Partick Thistle in Glasgow, with Jade McLaren scoring the only goal for the visitors. McLaren was once again on the scoresheet in their 3–1 home win against Stirling University last weekend; Robyn Smith and Holly Napier scored the other two goals for United.
