Recent respective form guides

Partick Thistle's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Jags have scored 10, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.

Dundee's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Dee, and 7 goals against.

Partick Th. are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 20 points from 10 games. Dundee see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 14 points from their 10 games played so far,
