Dundee vs Morton Live Stats & Betting Odds
Dundee Prediction – Can Dundee win three on the trot?
Back-to-back recent wins away from home at 2nd placed Ayr united 2-1 and Alloa Athletic 3-0 will have given Dundee a massive boost ahead of this upcoming Friday night clash against Greenock Morton as the hosts look to chase down a third league win on the trot in the Scottish Championship.
Another three points upon their return to home turf and their Dens Park ground would see Dundee move up into 3rd spot level on points with Ayr United and just 3 points adrift of their local rivals, Dundee United, who currently sit top of the Scottish Championship.
Results overall have been encouraging for Friday night’s hosts as Dundee have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches overall, which was a surprise 3-1 loss at home to Partick Thistle, but wins at home against Ayr United, Alloa Athletic and Arbroath have contributed towards a reasonable looking home record of 3-1-1 6/4.
Midfielder McDaid along with forwards Hemmings and Johnson (all 3 goals apiece) look the most likely for Dundee, who have won the last 3 meetings at home on the trot against Greenock Morton.
Morton Prediction – Can Morton kick-start season?
8th placed (or third from bottom) Morton currently sit just one league position but 3 points above second from bottom club, Alloa Athletic, prior to their trip to Dundee this Friday night, with recent results not exactly showing promise for the visitors.
Just 1 win out of their last 5 matches, or 2 wins from their last 8 matches overall in the Scottish Championship have seen Morton’s season suffer a downwards decline in recent weeks, with only a 2-1 home win against Inverness CT to show for their troubles.
Recent defeats to Dundee united (6-0 away), Arbroath (1-0 away) and a 3-2 loss at home to Ayr United means that Morton have remained in the lower reaches of the Scottish second tier, with a very tough fixture coming up against high-flying Dundee.
To make matters worse, Morton have lost all 5 of their away matches so far this season and possess a poor away record of 0-0-5 2/17 following defeats at Ayr United, Inverness CT, Queen of the South, Dundee United and Arbroath, which also includes the worst defensive record on the road in the Championship to date.
Key-Facts – Dundee vs Morton
- Dundee won their last 2 away matches on the trot prior to this clash
- Morton have lost all 5 of their away matches so far this season in the Championship
- Dundee have won the last 3 meetings at home on the trot against Morton
Betting Tips Verdict
Dundee’s recent wins away from home should give them plenty of confidence in grabbing the points here against a poor-travelling Morton outfit.
