Recent respective form guides

Dundee United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Terrors have scored 9, a worringly large 14 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 32 points from their 36 games played so far, Dunfermline A. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 30 points from 36 matches.
