Queen of the South are welcoming Dundee for another important game after their 0-2 result against 3rd-placed Greenock Morton.

Insights:
  • Queen of the South has the most conceded goals (22) in Championship
  • Dundee have yet to win a game away.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

3-4-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Dundee when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those nine matches are 12-11 (scored/conceded).

Queen of the South form and stats

Queen of the South have played three Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Queen to get some points in this home game.

No payout for Queen in their previous match, an away game at Greenock Morton that ended in defeat 0-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Hearts.

Queen of the South are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Raith Rovers awaits in three days.

Queen of the South has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. As for conceded goals, Queen's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.

Dundee form and stats

The visitors are W0-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

Dundee delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Dunfermline Athletic (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a Championship game. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Inverness CT.

Drawing 3-3 against Dunfermline Athletic after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager J. McPake needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Dundee, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

A quick return to home after this game, as Dundee are hosting Alloa Athletic in the Championship only three days away.

Dundee are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. The Dundee defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 13 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Queen of the South, three draws and four wins for Dundee. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
