Struggling Partick Thistle will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Dundee United in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Partick Thistle form and stats
With 2 Championship wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Partick Thistle are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The home team returns to Firhill Stadium after sharing the points with Alloa Athletic (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Championship game ended 1-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Greenock Morton with a 2-1 scoreline.
The Partick Thistle fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Partick Thistle have conceded 16 from these games.
Dundee United form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (44) in Championship, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 0 draws and only 3 losses in the Championship. Things are running smoothly for Dundee United who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Queen of the South. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Dundee United's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Queen of the South game.
Two travels in a row for Dundee United, whose manager R. Neilson could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Queen of the South. A draw for Dundee United before that, at their own venue hosting Dundee (1-1).
Dundee United find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Dundee United are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 10 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
