Hearts have lost just one of their past nine Scottish Premiership games against Dundee United (W6 D2), although that was their last at home in September this season (1-0).
After that 1-0 win in September, United could win back-to-back top-flight away games at Hearts for the first time since February 2012 under Peter Houston.
Hearts have won six of their past eight home league games (L2), including both of their past two. Hearts last won three successive home matches in the Scottish Premiership in February 2024.
United are the only side in the Premiership this season to pick up at least half of their points away from home (52% - 23/44), winning their last game 1-0 away to Ross County.
Hearts have won four of their past five games against newly-promoted opposition in the Scottish Premiership (L1), as many as their previous 20 beforehand (W4 D8 L8).
