Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Buddies have scored 6, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Terrors have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 15 matches. Dundee Utd.'s 26 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
