Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Killie have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The Terrors, and 2 goals against.

Kilmarnock see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 16 points from their 13 games played so far, Dundee Utd. find themselves in a respectable 3rd position, courtesy of the 22 points they have accumulated from 13 games.
