Dundee

DDWLLW ⚖

Dundee will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 4-0 Scottish Cup success over Airdrie United.

For Dundee, the scorers were Clark Robertson (13'), Lyall Cameron (25', 44') and Oluwaseun Adewumi (40').

Fixtures with Dundee have proved to be entertaining affairs lately with plenty of scoring anticipated. Over their past six clashes, a total of 25 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 4.17 goals per game) with 9 of them belonging to Dundee. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, however.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Dundee:

• have not registered a win against Aberdeen in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 5 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Aberdeen

DLWLLW

Aberdeen will go into the meeting after a 3-0 Scottish Cup win over Dunfermline Athletic in their most recent game.

For Aberdeen, the scorers were Pape Habib Guèye (45'), Alexander Jensen (50') and Kevin Nisbet (85').

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Aberdeen has been evident recently. Checking on their last six games shows that this has happened 6 times. In those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal tally of 8 and Aberdeen have scored 6.

Coming into this meeting, Aberdeen are without an away win for the past 9 matches in the league. What a terrible run of away results.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 30/04/2022 tells us that Dundee have won 1 of them & Aberdeen 3, with the number of drawn results standing at 2.

ℹ️ Team News: Dundee

In all likelihood, The Dark Blues may well line up in a 3-4-2-1 system and select Trevor Carson, Ryan Astley, J. Antonio Portales, Aaron Donnelly, Josh Mulligan, Mohamad Sylla, Cesar Garza, Ethan Ingram, Finlay Robertson, Oluwaseun Adewumi and Simon Murray.

🗞️ Team News: Aberdeen

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin to contend with. Vicente Besuijen (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, The Dons seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Ross Doohan, Nicky Devlin, Kristers Tobers, Alfie Dorrington, Alexander Jensen, Graeme Shinnie, Ante Palaversa, Topi Keskinen, Leighton Clarkson, Jeppe Okkels and Pape Habib Gueye.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Aberdeen and Dundee should play out a closely-fought contest here.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
