Dundee
DLWLWL
Since a losing effort in their last game against Hibernian in Premiership action, Dundee and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Dundee had 47% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Hibernian got 19 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Rocky Bushiri (26'), Kieron Bowie (68', 84') and Dwight Gayle (78') scored for Hibernian.
The stats don’t lie, and Dundee have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 14 goals in total. Defensively, Dundee have some weaknesses to address. Previous results aside, time will tell whether that trend will be replicated in this match.

🔮
Prediction
In this game, Hearts have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
Conversely, Dundee could well find it tough to get a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up hitting back at some stage, too.
We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 margin for Hearts at full-time.
