Dundee, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to St Mirren will not have sat easily with the Dundee squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 15 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Dee, although undefeated in their last 6 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Dundee, Lyall Cameron will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Hearts, Recent FormHearts had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Kilmarnock. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Kilmarnock had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Hearts, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to add more goals against Dundee in this match.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Dundee sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-2.
The Jam Tarts will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Dundee, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 18 meetings between the two. Playing at home, Dundee have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hearts.
With no real injury worries, Dundee manager Tony Docherty will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Craig Gordon (Broken leg) and Craig Halkett (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven Naismith will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
