Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd: Pick of the stats

Kilmarnock and Dundee United remain winless in their last seven Scottish Premiership games, with Dundee United currently drawing or losing all four of their matches against Kilmarnock since May 2016. The opposition have only managed to score two goals from 94 shots, resulting in an xG (expected goals) of 8.35 during this period.

Meanwhile, Kilmarnock have not garnered a single point in the 2026-27 Premiership so far. Their opening two games have seen a total of 13 goals - four for Kilmarnock and nine against them, the second-highest tally in the opening two matches of a Scottish top-flight season in the 21st century, following Celtic's 14 goals in the 2019-20 season (12 for and two against).

Dundee United's encounters with Kilmarnock have been characterized by alternating losses and draws, with five losses and four draws in their past nine Premiership visits to Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock, however, have shown their dominance with an unbeaten record of five wins and four draws in nine top-flight games against Dundee United, starting from their November 2022 defeat under Derek McInnes.

Tom Lowery has been instrumental in these matches, with four goal involvements (one goal and three assists) in his past five Premiership games, assisting in both of Kilmarnock's league matches in the 2026-27 season. The last Kilmarnock player to assist in three consecutive Scottish Premiership appearances was Chris Burke during December 2018.
