Match preview

Goals could be on the agenda in the Dundee derby at Dens Park.

Hosts Dundee and rivals Dundee United approach this encounter in fine fettle, with both sides having won their last three matches.

This is usually a feisty derby and both teams boast plenty of attacking threat. United and Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland has scored 19 times for club and country this season while Kane Hemmings is showing a return to form for Dundee with three goals in his last two outings.

Picking a winner isn't easy given United recorded an impressive win at Inverness last time out but had been struggling on the road prior to that, while Dundee have won three of their last four home games.

But with both teams growing in confidence we should be treated to more goalmouth action in a fixture that United won 6-2 at home in August.

Key stat

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has come up in six of the last seven Dundee derbies.
