It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 11th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Dundee form and stats
Dundee has only collected 11 points from their away games after 3-2-9 (14 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Dundee who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Livingston was the last time a defeat was avoided.Dundee failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Celtic (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Hearts.
