Recent respective form guides

Dundee United's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. The Terrors have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Dons's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Dundee Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 3 matches. Aberdeen's total of 6 points from their 3 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
