Dundee United

Last updated: Wed 20 March 2019 09:19
In Brief

Frans, Safranko and Sow unavailable. Pawlett available. No further squad news.

Looking Back

United were denied the chance to close the gap at the top as their fixture at Dunfermline was postponed. Previously United lost 2-1 at lowly Partick Thistle in a serious blow to their title hopes.

Just as United seemed to be building momentum again they lost at Partick. United may be more competitive these days, but they are not scoring enough goals. They have only scored more than once in one of their last nine fixtures.

Looking Ahead

Freddy Frans is unavailable along with Osman Sow. Pavol Safranko has been called up on international duty with Slovakia and will also miss the forthcoming Alloa fixture.

Peter Pawlett is available after suspension and should be straight back in the starting XI.

Points of Interest

United are undefeated in their last five matches at home (4W 1D).

Ross County

Last updated: Wed 20 March 2019 09:19
In Brief

Grivosti suspended. Fontaine, Mckay and Morris unavailable. Vigurs also sidelined. Semple doubtful. Draper, Kelly and Stewart available.

Looking Back

County's derby with Inverness was postponed and with a heavy schedule, they benefited from the rest. Prior to that they extended their lead at the top with a 2-1 win over Falkirk.

Despite their injury list, County have been in strong form with six consecutive wins in the Championship. However, they have struggled on the road this season with three defeats and four draws so far.

Looking Ahead

Tom Grivosti is suspended. Liam Fontaine, Billy Mckay and Callum Morris are out for the season. Iain Vigurs is also still unavailable. Callum Semple is subject to possible disciplinary action from the club and doubtful.

Better news for County has Ross Draper, Sean Kelly and Ross Stewart all fit again and in contention for starting places.

Points of Interest

County thumped Dundee United 5-1 at Tannadice when they met earlier this season.
