This could be an interesting match as Dundee United have their presumed home advantage while Rangers are ahead 24 points in the Premiership table.
- Dundee United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Rangers has the most scored goals (45) in Premiership
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game, against Lech Poznań, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rangers.
Dundee United form and stats
3-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premiership numbers at home for Dundee United so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Dundee United after consecutive victories at their own ground.
In their previous game, the manager M. Mellon led his Dundee to a defeat in the Premiership match away at Livingston. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tannadice Park. Ahead of that match, Dundee won a home game hosting Hamilton Academical (2-1).
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Rangers to win. Let's see if Dundee United are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: one game found revealing zero Dundee wins, zero draws and one defeat.
The Dundee United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Dundee's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times.

Rangers form and stats
The away performances of Rangers, who have the most scored goals (45) in Premiership, have been very solid so far with 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats in the Premiership. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Impressively, the visitors are on a eight-match winning run which they hope continue versus Dundee United. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Rangers's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Hibernian game.
The Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 633 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Rangers, whose manager S. Gerrard could celebrate last time after the Europa League win against Lech Poznań. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-0 at Ross County.
As mentioned earlier, Rangers will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 15 wins (twelve by two or more goals winning margin), two draws and zero surprising defeats.
Rangers has another fixture away, a League Cup game, against St. Mirren in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The Rangers manager S. Gerrard has got the team scoring on the road, with 17 away goals in 8 league matches. Rangers are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 3 goals away. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Rangers - Dundee 4-0, played this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Dundee, zero draws and six wins for Rangers. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
