Both the home- and away side have had problems getting enough points so far, but a win in this vital fixture would certainly be a big help. Get ready for Dundee - Aberdeen!
- Dundee have the most conceded goals (53) in Premiership
- Aberdeen have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Premiership
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!
Dundee form and stats
With 3 Premiership wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Dundee are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Premiership games in a row without a win, the Dundee fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St. Johnstone game long ago, can be stopped today.
Dundee experienced a slightly shocking loss 1-2 against Rangers in their previous outing, also played in front of their own fans. Defender Marshall got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.44/10. Marshall served one assist, hit one key pass and won 2 of 2 duels.
Erik lost again
Dundee aren't scoring a lot here at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park in the league, with only 14 goals from 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Dundee have conceded 25 from these games. Dundee has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Aberdeen form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Aberdeen so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-10 (win-draw-lose). Aberdeen has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Besuijen and Ferguson (2) scored in Aberdeen's previous match, the home game against Hibernian that ended 3-1. Midfield player Ferguson was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Ferguson scored two goals and had 51 successful passes (of 62 total).
A 0-1 defeat away at Rangers before that.The attacking power of Aberdeen when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 16 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Aberdeen have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
