Recent respective form guides

Dundee's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Dee have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Heart of Midlothian's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Dundee find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 11 games have yielded only 4 points.

Heart of Midlothian see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 13 points from their 11 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Dundee at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Dee will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
