Dundee Football Club prepare for a Premiership trip to face Falkirk this Saturday, 10 October, at the Falkirk Stadium. The match kicks off at 3pm local time as both sides aim to build on recent form.
Dundee head into the fixture sitting fourth in the Premiership with 10 points from seven games. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 home win over Motherwell on 19 September, with goals from Joe Westley and Bradley Fink. Westley is the club's top scorer this season with three goals in seven appearances. The team's next fixture is a home match against Ross County on 24 October.
Recent form
Tony Docherty's side have a mixed record from their last five league matches, winning two, drawing one and losing two. Their away form includes a 2-0 win at Dundee United in August but also a 2-1 defeat at Hearts earlier this month. The team has conceded a goal, on average, every 68 minutes of play this season.
Falkirk, currently 11th in the table, have also had inconsistent results. They drew 1-1 with St Johnstone last time out but secured a 2-1 home win over Hearts in mid-September. Their manager has highlighted the team's defensive organisation as a key strength ahead of this weekend's match.
Team news
The starting lineups from each team's last match provide a likely indication of their selections. Dundee deployed a 4-4-2 formation against Motherwell, with Owen Goodman in goal and a front pairing of Westley and Fink. Falkirk used a 4-2-3-1 shape against St Johnstone, with Steven Bain between the posts. Dundee's manager confirmed that midfielder Scott Robertson has returned to full training following a minor ankle issue and will be assessed ahead of the game.
