0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Dundee playing as the away team this season. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Dundee who have suffered through a eight match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters. four defeats in a row for Dundee in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Livingston.It might be tough going out on the road again for Dundee, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus St. Johnstone. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Aberdeen.
