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.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Killie at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Terrors come away with an easy victory. Away win
