Dundee form and stats

There's been little loot from Dundee's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Premiership. Dundee only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Dundee who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. St. Johnstone was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Dundee are looking to quickly end their 232 minutes long goal drought in the Premiership.

Dundee failed to get anything from their last game, a Premiership home match vs Hearts (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-1. Midfield player McGowan was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.45/10. McGowan hit one key pass and had 36 successful passes (of 41 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hibernian wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee as they have only managed to score 5 times from 9 away games in the league. For Dundee, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
