Scottish Premiership: Dundee derby, Wilson & Wimmer in focus

Advertisements

On Sunday, Dundee’s city neighbours meet for the fourth, and most likely last, time this season, with concerns in different halves of the league, but the same burning desire for derby day success.

Dundee’s need seems more urgent as they bid to get out of the relegation play-off spot, but United are in the thick of a tight race for Europe.

United, promoted over the summer, are already just one point shy of the tally that took Dundee to a surprise sixth place last season.

And they have had the better of this fixture in recent times.

Unbeaten in their previous five Premiership derbies (W2 D3), United have lost just one of the past 17 at home in the top flight. (W5, D11).

However, the last meeting went the way of the Dark Blues in the Scottish Cup, with Simon Murray’s first-minute header at Dens Park enough.

Cup interest is over now and that leaves Dundee seeking a first league win since 5 January.

Dundee have conceded the most goals in the division, with problems in midfield leaving defenders exposed too often.

United just happen to have the Premiership’s top scorer. Sam Dalby has 13 goals, which have been worth 12 points, also a league-high total for any player this term.

Jim Goodwin’s side will go long in search of the powerful striker. Dundee know what’s coming, but can they deal with the threat at Tannadice?
