Recent meetings between Dundee and Rangers have tended to end badly for the hosts. Last year Dundee lost 0-3 at home, and before that they had already lost 3-0 at Ibrox. This time Dundee are different in that they are on a two-match winning run and have collected 13 points from 8 matches, sitting 4th in the table. Rangers come in with much stronger form, on a five-match winning run, and this season they have scored 11 and conceded 5 from 8 matches, while Dundee have scored the same 11 but conceded as many as 8. Defence is therefore the area the hosts must watch throughout the final nine to fifteen minutes, the period in which Dundee concede as much as 27% of all the goals they let in. If Dundee score first, the game becomes a completely different story, because Rangers will have to open up and attack more, and the hosts will get space to counter. But if Rangers score first, they tend to control the tempo and squeeze Dundee out of their defensive plan, a situation Dundee have lost from many times over the past year.
