Dundee form and stats

Three Premiership home games done for Dundee, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park, but a victory now would be sweet for Dundee.

P. McGowan was the last player to score a league goal for Dundee and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Dundee haven't scored in 277 minutes.

Dundee's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus St. Johnstone (placed 8th).

A Premiership defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Dundee United.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Dundee have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost one from one game. zero defeats by at least two goals.

The Dundee fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Dundee have conceded 4 goals.
