Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Dundee United in 6th and St. Mirren in 8th place.

Insights:
  • Dundee United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • St. Mirren has the fewest scored goals (16) in Premiership

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League Cup. That game, against Livingston, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for St. Mirren.

Dundee United form and stats

The match schedule is unforgiving for Dundee as they have a new game in only three days, a Premiership match thankfully also at home. Hibernian are visiting.

Dundee United has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Dundee have conceded 13 in these home matches.

St. Mirren form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Premiership, are W4-D1-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.

There might be some fixture complaints from Mirren as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League Cup match against Livingston (0-1). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting St. Johnstone's place.

Mirren has another fixture away, a Scottish Cup game, against Hamilton Academical in just two days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The attacking power of St. Mirren when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As opposed to that, Mirren have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
