• Fixture: Dundee vs Aberdeen
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Dens Park

Dundee will be looking to bounce back after a string of losses, and their home win against St. Mirren could give them the confidence they need. With a predicted 4-5-1 formation, they'll likely focus on a solid defensive structure while relying on Simon Murray up top to convert any chances that come their way. Aberdeen, on the other hand, have been in decent form with a mix of wins and draws, and their attacking options could pose a threat to Dundee's backline.

However, Aberdeen's recent away form has been less convincing, with only one win in their last five away games. This might give Dundee a chance to exploit any weaknesses, especially if they can keep things tight at the back. The key for Dundee will be to stay disciplined and capitalise on any opportunities, while Aberdeen will need to be clinical in front of goal to secure the win.

Dundee have had a tough run lately, with four losses in their last five games, including a recent 0-1 defeat to Celtic. Their only win in this period came at home against St. Mirren, which might give them a glimmer of hope going into this match. Despite the recent struggles, that home victory could provide a much-needed boost in confidence and momentum as they look to turn their form around.

Aberdeen have been in relatively good form, with three wins and two draws in their last five games. Their most recent result was a thrilling 3-3 draw against St. Mirren at home, showing their ability to score goals but also highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities. With this solid run of form, Aberdeen will be looking to maintain their momentum and secure another positive result against Dundee.

• Predicted lineup: McCracken (GK), Wright (DF), Graham (DF), Astley (DF), Samuels (DF), Congreve (MF), Dhanda (MF), Hamilton (MF), Westley (MF), Robertson (MF), Murray (AT)

Dundee are expected to line up in a 4-5-1 formation, with Jon McCracken in goal and a back four of Wright, Graham, Astley, and Samuels. This setup should provide a solid defensive base, allowing the midfield five to control the game and support Simon Murray up front, who will be crucial in converting any chances that come his way.

• Predicted lineup: Mitov (GK), Devlin (DF), Milne (DF), Knoester (DF), Lobban (MF), Aouchiche (MF), Polvara (MF), Jensen (MF), Keskinen (AT), Armstrong (AT), Nisbet (AT)

Aberdeen are predicted to use a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Dimitar Mitov between the posts and a back three of Devlin, Milne, and Knoester. This formation should allow them to be solid at the back while giving their attacking quartet of Keskinen, Armstrong, Nisbet, and Aouchiche the freedom to create and score goals.

• Murray vs Devlin: Simon Murray's pace and finishing will be tested against Nicky Devlin's defensive solidity.
• Dhanda vs Jensen: Yan Dhanda's creativity in midfield will be crucial against Alexander Jensen's ability to break up play.
• Congreve (Dundee): Cameron Congreve's role in midfield will be vital for Dundee's control and tempo of the game.
• Aouchiche (Aberdeen): Adil Aouchiche's flair and goal threat could be the difference for Aberdeen in this match.
