Dundee United (H) match preview

Dundee United (H) – William Hill Scottish Premiership matchday three

Saturday, August 29 – 3pm

BBSP Stadium Rugby Park

LAST TIME OUT

KILMARNOCK

Killie were victors in the Ayrshire derby in the Round of 16 of the Premier Sports Cup.

Joe Hugill, Michael Schjønning-Larsen and Nicky Cleșcenco bagged the goals for the hosts, who earned the bragging rights over their county cousins.

This also booked a spot in the quarter-finals of the competition, which will see Aberdeen come to town in mid-September.

DUNDEE UNITED

Unlike Ayrshire’s finest, Jim Goodwin’s side suffered defeat to their local rivals in the Dundee derby last weekend.

They were defeated 2-0 on home soil at Tannadice, as they suffered a third-successive loss following an impressive opening day showing against Rangers way back at the end of July.
