Dundee United form and stats
Dundee United have collected 9 points from their Premiership home games so far after 3-0-1. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Dundee after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Dundee goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 254 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premiership.
It's back home for Dundee, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Hibernian away with the result 3-0. Ryan Edwards, Kieran Freeman and Nicky Clark found the net in that victory. Defender Ryan Edwards got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.01/10. Edwards scored one goal and won 6 of 12 duels.
Ahead of that match, Dundee United won a home game hosting Ross County (1-0).This is expected to be a close game, with Dundee United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dundee United as a small favourite), we find six games. Dundee has won three of these, drawn two and lost one.
The manager T. Courts will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Livingston in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Dundee here at Tannadice Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). Dundee United have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

A 0-2 defeat away at Hearts before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Motherwell playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Motherwell wins, two draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Motherwell are hosting St. Mirren in the Premiership only four days away.
