Dundee, Recent FormDundee boss Tony Docherty will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-2 away mauling from Rangers. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Rangers' tally of 31 efforts at goal, 13 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Dundee will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.
Kilmarnock, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Kilmarnock supremo Derek McInnes after sustaining a heavy 5-0 home loss to Celtic. Their share of possession in that meeting was 25%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Celtic had 30 shots on goal with 12 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 9 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
Kilmarnock will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Marley Watkins is giving Kilmarnock's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Dundee will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Killie. We've seen plenty of goals from Kilmarnock when they've visited The Dee in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
Dundee has had a poor run of results against Kilmarnock, drawing their last 4, but having not won any of their last 9 meetings.
Luke McCowan has scored in each of Dundee's last 2 league games against Kilmarnock.
Dundee manager Tony Docherty has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Owen Beck (Groin), Diego Pineda (Thigh) and Joe Shaughnessy (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With James Balagizi (Sprained knee) and Kyle Magennis (Hamstring) both unavailable and Brad Lyons (Hamstring) being out for the rest of the season, Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
