Dundee vs Aberdeen Preview

Dundee will be without James McPake who is still sidelined with a knee injury. He joins long-term absentee Julen Etxabeguren who is unexpected to feature again this season. The Dee stuck with two up front against Celtic and are expected to do the same here with Marcus Haber and Fayssal El-Bakhtaoui likely to lead the line.

Aberdeen have Jayden Stockley suspended after he lashed out in the win over Hearts, though he was unlikely to be involved from the off here. Centre back Mark Reynolds has had a groin operation and is out of action for the next few weeks. Adam Rooney has ten goals to his name this season and will be the focal point of attack for the visitors.

Dundee vs Aberdeen Prediction

Dundee come into this match on a three game losing streak. They may not have been expected to get much against Celtic but offered little in front of goal when failing to score in defeats away to St Johnstone and at home to Partick Thistle.

Aberdeen arrive having won three on the bounce, keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories. They won 1-0 at home to Partick Thistle and Motherwell prior to the win over Hearts but cannot afford to be overconfident, having lost their last away game.

The last five meetings have gone to Aberdeen, including a 1-3 triumph in the corresponding fixture last season. A similar winning margin could be on the cards here and it’s worth bearing in mind that Dundee have won just one of the previous 15 competitive meetings.
