Dundee United form and stats
Dundee United's struggle is real here at Tannadice Park with only 6 points collected from 6 Premiership games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-4. Two home wins in a row for Dundee bring valid hopes of a third.
Dundee United lost their last game at St. Mirren (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in three league rounds. The talented striker Watt edged out all the other players in that match and got a match rating of 7.32 out of 10. Watt served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Kilmarnock in the League Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dundee have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 1 and lost 7.
