Livingston form and stats

4 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Livingston have to build on here at Tony Macaroni Arena in the Premiership.

A good away victory last time out for Livingston, who won 4-0 against Dundee (placed 12th). Anderson, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the highest rated performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 8.42 (out of 10). Anderson scored two goals.

Dundee United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dundee United so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 2-7-5 (win-draw-lose). One point away has become something of a habit for Dundee who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Dundee United are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Aberdeen (placed 9th).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Rangers.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dundee United playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Dundee United win, three draws and one defeat.

After this away game Dundee return home for a Premiership game against Hearts. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee United as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head
