History of the Dundee United v Partick Thistle fixture

Dundee Utd. prepare to entertain Partick Thistle at Tannadice Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tangerines are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 5 of the 38 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tannadice Park was just last season, in October 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.

Dundee United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Tangerines have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
