Dundee vs Rangers Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Sunday, 17th March, the Scotland Premiership is set for an electrifying match as Dundee host Rangers at the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park. This clash marks the 30th round of a season that has seen these teams on divergent paths. With Rangers leading the pack and Dundee finding themselves in 6th place, it promises to be a match filled with intensity and ambition.

Dundee, under the guidance of Tony Docherty, come into this fixture with a mixed bag of recent form - securing 1 win, suffering 3 losses, and drawing once in their last five matches. Their latest victory against Aberdeen at home shows they can hold their ground, ending on a positive note with a scoreline of 1-0.

On the other side of the pitch stands Philippe Clement's Rangers who have showcased their dominance throughout this campaign. Positioned comfortably at first in the Premiership with an impressive tally of 70 points - they've been nearly unstoppable. Despite experiencing a minor setback in their last game against Benfica which ended in a narrow defeat (0-1), their overall form remains formidable; boasting four wins out of five recent matches.

When it comes to head-to-head encounters between these two teams, history leans heavily towards Rangers who have triumphed over Dundee in all five previous meetings – including a decisive victory (3-1) when they last met back on December 9th.

The goal-scoring averages also paint an intriguing picture: Dundee scores about 1.6 goals per game overall but ups that average to 1.8 when playing at home while conceding fewer goals as well (an average of just 1.2). Meanwhile, Rangers have been scoring machines away from home averaging about 2.25 goals per match and concede even less frequently than when they are at Ibrox Stadium - only around .75 goals per game on average away from home.

Considering both teams' performance metrics and current form alongside historical outcomes between them makes for interesting analysis especially for those interested in betting angles based upon statistical insights.

Given Rangers' dominant track record against Dundee coupled with superior scoring stats particularly during away games – not forgetting how tight their defense plays – backing Rangers for an Away Win appears to offer promising value despite being clear favorites according to odds provided (odds: 1.33).

Furthermore analyzing goal data suggests that matches involving these two tend towards higher scoring affairs especially given both sides' averages thus far into the season; suggesting another potential angle could lean towards expecting over 2.5 Goals scored across ninety minutes considering its odds (1.53).

However weighing up all factors including value vs likelihood – recommending an Away Win stands out as prudent advice given current context around both team's forms and direct comparisons heading into this pivotal Premiership showdown.
