After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Livingston in Premiership competition, Dundee United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

For 5 of the past six games involving Dundee United, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and their opponents.

In any event, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might continue on here in this game.
