Dundee United have scored exactly twice in six of their last seven Scottish Premiership games against Dundee, though the exception was their last at home, a 0-1 defeat in January.

Dundee have won both of their last two Scottish Premiership visits to Dundee United, as many as their previous 20 in the top-flight beforehand (W2 D11 L7).

Dundee United have won each of their last three home games in the Scottish Premiership, last winning four in a row on home soil in the division in November 2014.

When in the bottom six, Dundee have won their first game after the Scottish top-flight splits in five of the last seven occasions (D1 L1), including a 1-0 win away at Hearts last season.

Since the start of February, only Youssef Chermiti (7) has more Scottish Premiership goals than Simon Murray (6). Murray has now scored 26 goals in 80 appearances for Dundee in the competition – just two fewer than he netted in 95 games for all his other clubs (including Dundee United) combined in the Scottish top-flight (28).
