Dundee Football Club travel to Paisley this Saturday for a Premiership clash with St Mirren. The match at The SMISA Stadium kicks off at 3pm on 24 October.
They have collected seven points from a possible nine during that run, moving them up to fourth place in the league. Their most recent result was a hard-fought 2-2 draw at home to Rangers last weekend, where Fink and Callum Jones found the net.
St Mirren form
St Mirren present a contrasting picture, having lost their last three matches. Those defeats include a heavy loss away to Hearts and a home loss to Dundee United. They currently sit eighth in the standings.
Dundee's recent results
Dundee's upturn began with a win over Motherwell in September. They followed that with a victory away at Falkirk, sealed by a late Ashley Hay goal. The draw with Rangers demonstrated their resilience, coming from behind twice. Top scorer Fink was on target in that game. The team's improved defensive organization has been a cornerstone of their rise up the table.
Team news
Dundee's starting lineup against Rangers featured Goodman in goal, with a back four of Drey Wright, Astley, Owen Bevan and Samuels. The midfield quartet of Bevan, Callum Jones, Ethan Hamilton and Forrest supported forwards Ashley Hay and Fink. St Mirren's most recent selection was a 4-4-2 formation against Aberdeen, with striker Jonah Ayunga expected to return to the squad after missing the last two games due to a minor knee issue.
The last meeting between these sides ended in a goalless draw at the same venue back in January. Dundee will view this as an opportunity to improve on that result and solidify their top-four position. Their next assignment is this away fixture in Paisley on Saturday afternoon. A win for Dundee could see them close the gap on the top three, depending on other results, while St Mirren are desperate for points to halt their slide down the standings.
