📊 AI-generated recap and structured data

Aberdeen beat Dundee United 2-0 in the Scottish Premiership, landing our model's pick of an Aberdeen win at 50% probability. The hosts controlled the match against visitors who had won just once in their last five outings. Aberdeen's own recent form had been poor, sitting at zero wins in five games before this result, yet they found the clinical finishing needed on the day. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The result handed Aberdeen a significant morale boost after four consecutive losses, though it did not alter their second-place standing in the Premiership. Dundee United remained top of the league despite the defeat, but their form has become erratic; they have won just once in their last five matches. Our model suggests Aberdeen's clean sheet performance was a positive deviation from their recent defensive record. The gap between first and second tightened marginally in points terms.
