Recent respective form guides

Dundee United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The The Terrors's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Hearts's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Jambo's have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dundee Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches. Hearts find themselves in a respectable 3rd position, courtesy of the 12 points they have accumulated from 6 games.
