Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Killie have scored 6, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee United's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the Terrors have hit 7 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Kilmarnock are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 3 matches.

Dundee United are leading the way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, with their 2 games giving them a return of 6 points.
