Dundee United host St Johnstone in the final game before the split and both teams will be energised after shock wins last week.
The Tannadice side have enjoyed an excellent campaign on their return to the top flight and comfortably secured their place in the top six.
They had been struggling recently, but a couple of back-to-back 1-0 away wins at Ross County and Hearts have really rejuvenated their season.
They are very much in the hunt for a third placed finish which would transform an already good campaign into an excellent one.
United are three points behind Hibs with six games left now.
St Johnstone must have busted thousands of accas last week when they pulled off a 16/1 shock with a win against Celtic at home on Sunday.
It wasn't a fluke either as they had a few chances and defended superbly. Previously, it looked like they were all but down and out at the bottom of the league.
But pulling a performance and a win like that out of nowhere will surely give them renewed hope of beating the drop or at least avoiding bottom spot and taking their chances in a play-off.
How the bookies view it: United backed for strong split finish
Dundee United are odds-on across the board here and are 3/4 to get the win with Boylesports. Saints can be backed at 7/2 and the draw is 12/5.
Recent head to heads: United on top
The clubs have met twice this season and Dundee United have won both of them home and away.
However, prior to this season, St Johnstone had won on each of their last three visits to Tannadice.
Players to watch: Balodis on the ball
Sam Dalby has been Dundee United's star man this season and netted his 14th league goal of the season last week with the only goal at Tynecastle. The on loan Wrexham striker is 11/8 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Latvian international Daniels Balodis was the hero for Saints last week when he netted an early goal which turned out to be the winner against Celtic. He is a massive 28/1 to score again anytime with Boylesports.
Predicted line-ups:
United have doubts over Ross Graham and Vicko Sevelj.
St Johnstone star Drey Wright is expected to be out for the rest of the season, but Barry Douglas is back fit again.
Dundee United: Walton, Adegboyega, Gallagher, Harding, Strain, Campbell, Stephenson, Docherty, Ferry, Dalby, Moult.
St Johnstone: Fisher, Mitchell, Balodis, Curtis, Carey, Duke-McKenna, Holt, Griffith, Sidibeh, Douglas, Kirk
Anything else catch the eye?
United are strongly favoured by the layers and they look fairly solid value to make it three wins out of three against Saints on Saturday.
St Johnstone's win last week has undoubtedly given them renewed hope of beating the drop, but it's hard to avoid what's happened befrev then and conclude they are bottom for a reason.
United seem to have turned the corner and you have to be impressed with two 1-0 wins in Dingwall and Gorgie – twp hard places to get anything…let alone three points.
This is unluikely to be a classic especially with United looking stronger in defence after a couple of uncharacteristic displays by them.
It may well be a goal settles it and the 23/10 with Boylesports for under 1.5 goals could well be worth a go here.
