Rangers form and stats

15 points is a decent return from 7 Premiership games here at Ibrox Stadium for Rangers. The data says 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Rangers haven’t lost a league-game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Dundee United, 119 days ago.

A good away victory last time out for Rangers, who won 1-0 against Hibernian (placed 6th). The victory against Hibernian came after Kemar Roofe's winning goal. The Rangers manager G. van Bronckhorst was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 66th minute. Midfielder Glen Kamara was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.44 (out of ten) in that game. Kamara hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 49 successful passes (of 55 total).

In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Livingston.

Dundee form and stats

There's been little loot from Dundee's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Premiership. Dundee only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

The Dundee goalkeeper Adam Legzdins is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 220 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Dundee won their last game, 1-0 versus St. Johnstone played at home. Midfield player Luke McCowan was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.92/10. McCowan hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit four key passes.

Before that, Dundee secured a home win against Motherwell with the score 3-0.

With the home team stated as having a victory chance of around 80% by the bookies, any favourable result for the guesting team would be unexpected. Inspecting previous matches with similar odds and Dundee playing away, we found one results. The numbers from these were zero away wins, zero draws and one defeat. The away team lost one of these games by at least two goals.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dundee's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. Dundee have conceded 12 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H game ended Dundee - Rangers 0-1, earlier this season. Rangers-Dundee H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Rangers seven wins, Dundee two wins, one draw. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
