Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Buddies have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The The Terrors's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

St. Mirren see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 0 points from their 1 games played so far, Dundee Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 3 from their 1 games so far.
