Dundee FC vs Rangers FC prediction 09.01.2025 | Premiership

• Competition: Premiership
• Date: Thursday, 9th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Dens Park (Dundee)

Dundee FC are one of the teams that pretty much regularly moved between Championship and Premiership in the previous several seasons. Last year, they managed to secure a Championship Group, but it was evident they didn't belong there, finishing as the last-placed team. This year, they had ups and downs but are once again close to the Championship Group. Right now, Dundee FC are in 8th place with 25 points from 21 matches - two points away from the desired 6th place, but with one game played less. Unfortunately for them, they will have a super challenging schedule as they will face Rangers and then have two games against Celtic.

Rangers FC are one of the two biggest clubs in Scotland. Still, in the last seven years, they only won one title and finished second in the remaining six years. This season, they are once again looking like the second-best team in the country. The Light Blues are in second place with 40 points from 20 rounds, already 13 points behind their arch-rivals, Celtic. The primary reason for their subpar performance is their poor road record, and the title looks very distant right now. However, in the Europa League, they are doing a fantastic job as they are on a path to securing the 1/8 Finals.

Dundee FC vs Rangers FC pick: Over 2.5 goals

Dundee FC are one of the best teams in the league for this bet, with 71% of their games finishing with three or more goals. But at home, they have been fantastic and were over this line in every single game, both in the Premiership and League Cup.

Lately, Rangers have been excellent offensively, scoring three goals per game in their two matches in January against Celtic and Hibernian. So, if they are capable of scoring three goals against excellent teams, they can do the same against Dundee FC. Additionally, since they kept their net intact just once in the last four matches and since they will miss key defenders due to injuries and suspensions, we do not expect a clean sheet.

In the previous six h2h games, these teams were over 2.5 goals on four occasions - 67%. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that there are over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Premiership tie.
