The Championship season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Dundee and Raith Rovers promises to be an interesting one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Dundee form and stats
Dundee have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from 13 matches.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hearts (2-6).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dundee have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost four.
Dundee has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Raith Rovers form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Championship, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 6 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 14 matches.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Arbroath.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Raith Rovers, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Raith Rovers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of two matches.
It's early days yet, but Raith Rovers has scored 5 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Dundee won six games, three matches ended with a draw and Raith Rovers has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / sevenTop Goalscorers
