Recent respective form guides

Dundee United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Terrors have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 2 points from their 3 games played so far, Dunfermline A. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 3 matches.
