📰 Team News: Dundee

We believe The Dark Blues seem likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup using Trevor Carson, Ryan Astley, Joe Shaughnessy, Clark Robertson, Ziyad Larkeche, Josh Mulligan, J. Antonio Portales, Lyall Cameron, Oluwaseun Adewumi, Simon Murray and Seb Palmer-Houlden.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Dundee will do well to be putting a goal past this St Johnstone lineup who we think might well manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for St Johnstone at the conclusion of the game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
