Dundee United: 49 league matches in the bank, 11 from this season and the rest from last season. Hearts: 49 league matches in the bank, 11 from this season and the rest from last season.
The question this step asks
Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.
The two sides
Dundee United -- at home
Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 2, drew 2, lost 1 of 5, scoring 6 and conceding 6. Last season at home: won 7, drew 7, lost 5 of 19, scoring 24 and conceding 22 -- 1.47 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Celtic 2-2 away; beat Aberdeen 3-2 at home; drew with St. Johnstone 1-1 away; beat Hibernian 1-0 at home; beat St. Mirren 3-0 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 40 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Jim Goodwin. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
Hearts -- away
Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 1, lost 3 of 6, scoring 9 and conceding 13. Last season away: won 9, drew 4, lost 6 of 19, scoring 30 and conceding 23 -- 1.63 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Rangers 2-2 at home; beat Motherwell 2-0 away; lost to Celtic 1-7 away; beat St. Mirren 5-0 at home; drew with Kilmarnock 1-1 away.
The dugout
Every one of the 25 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Derek McInnes. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
