Aberdeen are undefeated in their last 16 matches against Dundee FC in all competitions. Aberdeen have lost their last 4 matches (Premiership). Dundee FC have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches against Aberdeen in all competitions. Dundee FC have lost their last 3 matches (Premiership). Aberdeen have lost with a 1 goal margin in their last 3 matches (Premiership).
Bottom of the table Dundee are one of two teams still in search of that first Scottish Premiership win of the season, hosting an Aberdeen team that's lost half of their league matches this season. The Dee grabbed a consolation goal in their limp Tayside derby defeat to St Johnstone last time out, failing to score in five matches in all competitions beforehand. Needless to say, the combination of failing to score goals and conceding barrowloads equals a recipe for disaster. However, this is a winnable match for Dundee given the visitors aren't in the best of fettle themselves. Aberdeen haven't won a match in any competition in over two months. Elimination from the Premier Sports Cup to Championship side Raith Rovers, from the Europa Conference League to Qarabag FK and two points from a potential 18 in the Scottish Premiership, including four consecutive league losses, does not make for pleasant reading from a Dons perspective. So this is a must-win clash for both sides and perhaps both sides want to win, may see them cancel one another out and have to settle for a share of the spoils. 1:1
James McPake made two changes after Dundee's 1-0 defeat to Rangers at Dens Park before the Dee succumbed to a 3-1 Tayside derby defeat to St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in their last Scottish Premiership match. Paul McGowan retained his place in a three man midfield, after coming on as a substitute against Rangers, replacing young Max Anderson to slot in alongside Jordan McGhee and Shaun Byrne. Jason Cummings also made a cameo as a substitute at Dens against the reigning champions and missed a penalty against his former employers. However, in the absence of the injured Leigh Griffiths, he kept his place up front. Stephen Glass made three changes after Aberdeen lost a topsy-turvy clash against St Mirren in Paisley, before a late bitter blow in their 2-1 defeat at Pittodrie to Celtic prior to the international break. Club captain Joe Lewis was dropped, as backup goalkeeper Gary Woods was handed his first start between the sticks this season. Teddy Jenks was suspended after his sending off against Saints, Matty Longstaff taking his place. Ryan Hedges missed the Celtic clash through injury, but could be back for this one, as Wolves loanee Austin Samuels took his spot on the right hand side. He and Jonny Hayes looked to support lone striker Christian Ramirez in attack.
