Dundee Football Club prepare to host Rangers in a rearranged Scottish Premiership fixture at Dens Park on Saturday night. The match pits a Dundee side in good form against a Rangers team on a formidable winning run.
Steven Pressley's men sit fourth in the standings with 13 points from eight games, a position that Pressley said is "way above expectations." They are six points behind second-placed Rangers and come into the game on the back of consecutive victories, including a 2-1 win at Falkirk last weekend. Owen Bevan and Ashley Hay scored the goals in that comeback victory. Dundee's recent form shows two wins, a draw and a loss from their last four outings.
Rangers' winning streak
Rangers arrive in Dundee having won their last seven matches in all competitions. They have kept five clean sheets during that run and beat Kilmarnock 3-1 in their last league outing. The Ibrox side have also won four of the last six meetings between the two clubs, including a 3-0 victory in their most recent trip to Dens Park. Manager Derek McInnes will be hoping for similar success in his latest trip east. The team's current stats reflect this dominant period of form.
Dundee's home challenge
Despite being cast as underdogs, Dundee have proven tough to beat at home this season, losing just once in four games at the Kilmac Stadium. An Opta supercomputer model gives Rangers a 57.8% chance of winning the match, with Dundee's probability rated at 20.7% and a draw at 21.1%. The home side will be without key players Lawrence Shankland, John Souttar and Daisuke Yokota. This match is a key part of a busy period in the fixtures list for both sides.
The match kicks off at 8pm on Saturday.
