FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that The Dee's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Morton. Home Win

Dundee Failed to win in previous 2 home matches.
Morton 5 games since last away draw.
An overall losing run of 2 games.
No win in the 2 most recent games.
