Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Dundee & Cove Rangers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Cove Rangers's home stadium. The visitors last 29 games on grass have ended in 16 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses.
Dundee form and stats
Last season, Dundee's League Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Dundee's two home games in the Championship so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park.
Dundee travelled for their previous game, a trip to Alloa Athletic that ended 3-3. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Championship home game that ended 1-1 versus Raith Rovers.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Alloa Athletic as C. Adam's goal in the 84th minute completed a cancellation of 1-3 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. A goal frenzy last time out for Dundee, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Alloa Athletic. Fun stuff to watch!
Dundee has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Cove Rangers form and stats
Cove's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.Playing away, Cove Rangers have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 0 defeats in the League One this season. Impressively, the visitors are on a nine-match winning run which they hope continue versus Dundee. It’s been three wins in a row for Cove on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Cove goalkeeper Stuart McKenzie is eager to challenge this, with his 298 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Cove had fun at their own home (Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park) last time out, beating Forfar Athletic 3-0. M. Megginson (2) and R. McAllister scored. Before that, Cove Rangers secured a home win against Partick Thistle with the score 1-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Cove Rangers are hosting Forfar Athletic in the League Cup only four days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Cove Rangers has managed 2 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
