Recent respective form guides

Dundee's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Dee have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Dons's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Dundee find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 12 points.

Aberdeen lie just outside the playoff positions in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, picking up 27 from their 20 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Dee at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Dons come away with an easy victory. Away win
