Dundee United have made a fine start on their return to the top flight.
With eight points from four games, Jim Goodwin’s side head into the international break third and still unbeaten.
So far, United have slightly outperformed their xG of 5.2, netting six goals.
Backing that up, of the eight big chances Goodwin’s side have manufactured, 37.5% have been converted – that’s the same as Rangers.
On the goalscoring front five different players have found the back of the net, joint third highest in the division.
Goodwin has honed a pretty solid backline too. Only Celtic and Aberdeen have conceded fewer than United’s tally of three goals.
Of the 12 shots on target United have faced, only three have gone in the net. Of those, two have come from open play and one from a set-piece.
Goalkeeper Jack Walton has a 75% save rate, the fourth highest in the top flight so far, and has made nine saves.
The new arrivals have made an immediate impact too. Striker Kristijan Trapanovski ranks in the Premiership top five for shots on target (12), five of which have been on target. Having netted once from an xG of 1.72, the Macedonian will look to up that scoring rate.
Wide player Will Ferry has been a revelation in Tangerine and the stats bear that out. Ferry has won possession 29 times – bettered only by Celtic’s Callum McGregor – and also ranks highly for tackles made (10).
United have looked threatening on the dead-ball front, with two of their four goals resulting from a set-piece, and Ferry is joint fifth in the league for successful open play crosses (three).
