Hibernian travel to Tannadice Park this Saturday to face Dundee United, a fixture that presents a vital chance to improve their league position. Nick Montgomery's side are 10th in the Premiership with seven points from seven games, having won just once in their last five outings.
Their most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Aberdeen, where Martin Boyle equalised from the penalty spot. That point followed a 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock at Easter Road. Boyle is the team's top scorer this season with three goals in six appearances, a key figure as Hibs look to add to the eight goals they have scored so far.
Dundee United, sitting eighth, head into the match with better recent momentum. They secured a convincing 3-0 away win over St Mirren in their last fixture. Hibs' last trip to Tayside ended in a 2-1 victory over Dundee in late August, a result they will hope to replicate.
Montgomery is likely to stick with the 3-4-1-2 shape used against Aberdeen, which featured Rocco Sallinger in goal and a front pairing of Boyle and Oskar Elding. The manager will be demanding a more clinical performance from his side, who have conceded 11 goals this campaign.
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, 10 October, with both teams aiming for points before the international break.
