Head-to-Head
- Both teams need the points for different reasons, but the hosts have more to gain on a day when Craig McLeish’s appointment as interim boss should provide a psychological boost for Saint Mirren FC.
- Dundee United’s superior league position and their better goal return makes them the rightful favorites, but both clubs have been struggling of late and the contrasting styles of the two teams suggests the game could go either way.
Key Players
- Jim Goodwin’s Dundee United have a flexible system with three at the back that can play a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 depending on the match.
- Saints’ Mikael Mandron is in fine form with both of his side’s last two goals coming from him in their last five games and Dundee United’s Will Ferry is a consistent threat with two goals in three matches and three in his last five overall, so the Tangerines' forward is worth backing to get on the scoresheet here.
