On Sunday, United will go to the recently promoted team to begin their Premiership campaign.
Jim Goodwin acknowledges that when Dundee United travels to Falkirk on Sunday to begin their Premiership campaign, they must strengthen their possession game.
The Terrors defeated UNA Strassen 2-0 on aggregate in Luxembourg on Thursday night, advancing them to the Conference League third qualifier against Rapid Vienna of Austria.
Iurie Iovu, a Moldovan defender, scored his first goal for the Tayside team in the second half to give the unimpressive visitors a narrow 1-0 victory, but Goodwin acknowledged that there were certain shortcomings in both legs' performances that will need to be fixed against the Bairns.
"These ties are never straightforward, but I think the fact that we've been able to keep two clean sheets was really important," the Tannadice manager said on the team's official X account.
"The goalie and the back three were outstanding defensively
The fact that they haven't given up a goal in their four games there during the preseason is significant.
However, we are aware that we must perform better when in possession. The bottom line is that.
"I think you'll be punished if you give up possession as cheaply as we did against better teams, which is against Rapid Vienna next week and Falkirk on Sunday."
