In the next Premiership round, all focus will be on The Old Firm, a derby between Rangers and Celtic, but another city derby will be played between Dundee FC and Dundee United. Historically, Dundee United has been more successful, with 81 victories over its closest rival, while Dundee FC has secured 49 wins so far. Many saw both Dundee teams as some of the worst in the competition before the season started, but Dundee FC are looking like a mid-table team, while Dundee United is currently in a surprising fourth position.
Dundee FC struggled recently with three defeats in a row, but in the previous match, they won 2-1 on the road against St. Mirren. The home side was slightly better in that game, but Dundee FC was more efficient, so they secured victory, which should help restore some confidence ahead of the city derby.
Dundee United are in an excellent form. They lost only one of the last nine matches. In the previous round, Jim Goodwin's team won 1-0 at home against Aberdeen. The home side finished the game with an xG of 2.19, while the guests had 0.79, so Dundee United's victory was well deserved.
Dundee FC vs Dundee United pick: Both teams to score - yes
Dundee FC scored at least one goal in 11 of 12 home matches this season. On the other hand, Dundee United scored at least one goal in 10 of the last 11 road matches. We should expect at least one goal on both sides in the Dundee derby.
