Dundee United and Kilmarnock meets in a bottom of the table clash as both teams lock horns at the Rugby Park.

Both teams are level on points heading into this game but Dundee United has played one game less and needs to make this count against Kilmarnock.

After securing promotion to the top flight last season, Kilmarnock have experienced a tough campaign thus far, as they are currently languishing in bottom spot. They appeared to be heading in the right direction towards the end of last year but they couldn't keep up and have managed only one win this year.

Kilmarnock faced the big boys in the league, Celtic and Rangers, three times in their last five outings which they lost but against other teams, they have failed to compete. Killie got hammered few days ago when they visited Ross County at the Global Energy Stadium, losing three nil in a shabby performance.

Most of Kilmarnock's woes have stemmed from a very poor defense that has conceded 41 goals in just 23 league games. No other team has conceded more goals than Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership this season.

Dundee United had a poor first half of the season but they have almost equalled their point tally in the second half of the campaign. The Tangerines is surprisingly level on points in the bottom of the table despite enough quality in the team.

Liam Fox's team looks to have hit their best form of the season and they in good condition ahead of this match. Dundee United has lost only two of their last seven games, with both losses coming against Rangers and Celtic.

Dundee United looked very good when they visited Hibernians at the Easter Road Stadium and was few seconds away from taking all three points home. The Tangerines led 2-1 until Kevin Nisbet leveled things up for Hibernians in extra time.

Kilmarnock has always finished below Dundee United in three consecutive seasons. They so not have as much experience and a good team like the visitors and Dundee United would be looking to keep their hopes of survival against the bottom team in the league.

邓迪联队和基尔马诺克队在橄榄球公园对峙，双方在积分榜垫底。

两支球队在本场比赛前积分相同，但邓迪联队少打了一场比赛，他们需要在对阵基尔马诺克的比赛中把这一场算在内。

在上赛季晋级顶级联赛后，基尔马诺克迄今为止经历了一场艰难的比赛，因为他们目前在垫底。去年年底，他们似乎在朝着正确的方向前进，但他们无法跟上，今年只赢得了一场胜利。

基尔马诺克面对联赛中的豪门，凯尔特人和流浪者，在过去的五次比赛中，他们输了三次，但对阵其他球队，他们没能竞争。几天前，基利队在全球能源体育场做客罗斯县时惨败，在一场糟糕的比赛中以3比0输掉了比赛。

基尔马诺克的大部分问题都源于糟糕的防守，在仅仅23场联赛中丢了41个球。在本赛季的苏格兰联赛中，没有任何一支球队的失球比基尔马诺克多。

邓迪联队在上半赛季表现不佳，但他们在下半赛季几乎追平了他们的积分。尽管队伍实力雄厚，但橘子队在积分榜上的排名却出人意料地靠后。

利亚姆·福克斯的球队看起来已经打出了本赛季的最佳状态，他们在这场比赛前状态良好。邓迪联队在过去7场比赛中只输了两场，两场都是输给流浪者和凯尔特人。

邓迪联队在复活节路球场做客Hibernians的比赛中表现非常出色，他们差一点就能把三分全部带回家。橘子队以2-1领先，直到凯文·尼斯贝特在加时赛为冬眠队扳平比分。

基尔马诺克连续三个赛季排名低于邓迪联队。他们没有那么多的经验，而像客队这样的强队，邓迪联队将希望保持他们对联赛垫底球队的生存希望。
