History of the Dundee United v Heart Of Midlothian fixture

Dundee Utd. prepare to entertain Heart Of Midlothian at Tannadice Park on Sunday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Tangerines have the slight edge, having won 26 of the 63 games compared to Hearts's 18 wins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tannadice Park was less than a year ago, in December 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Dundee United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Tangerines have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Hearts's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Dundee Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 13 matches. Hearts are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 26 points from 13 games.
