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 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Falkirk's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Bairns have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dundee Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 42 points from their 26 games so far. Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 25 games have yielded only 20 points.
