Dundee entertain Kilmarnock at the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park on Wednesday 28 October, kick-off 7.45pm, as the hosts look to bounce back from a narrow weekend defeat.
Kilmarnock travel north with the leakiest defence in the division, having already conceded 23 goals. Our Dundee vs Kilmarnock predictions and betting tips break down a Scottish Premiership fixture the hosts are fancied to win.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson makes Dundee strong favourites against the division’s leakiest defence and has two Premium Tips for the Dens Park clash.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dundee to win and both teams to score | 5/2 (Sky Bet) | Dundee are favourites at Dens Park and come up against the leakiest defence in the division, with Kilmarnock having conceded 23 goals in 10 games. A home clean sheet is far less certain, though. Both teams have scored in four of Dundee’s five home league games, and their only shut-out at Dens Park came in the 2-0 win over Aberdeen. Kilmarnock have also scored in three of their five away games, so Dundee to win with both sides on the scoresheet looks the sharper angle at 5/2 with Sky Bet. |
| Bradley Fink to score anytime | 2/1 (Paddy Power) | Bradley Fink has been Dundee’s chief source of goals this season, top-scoring with four in just eight appearances, and he could hardly wish for a kinder defence to face. Kilmarnock have shipped 23 goals already and kept only two clean sheets all campaign. With Dundee expected to control proceedings at Dens Park and carve out a steady stream of chances against that fragile back line, their leading marksman looks a tempting price at 2/1 to find the net. Fink has started six of those eight games and remains the focal point of the home attack. |

How Dundee go into the game
Dundee come into the midweek round fifth in the Scottish Premiership on 14 points, having made a solid start to the campaign. A 2-1 defeat at St. Mirren last time out checked their momentum, but home form has been dependable.
At Dens Park the Dark Blues have lost just one of five, winning two and drawing two while conceding only six goals. That defensive steadiness could prove telling against a Kilmarnock side that leaks badly.
How Kilmarnock go into the game
Kilmarnock make the trip to Tayside 11th in the table on eight points, and it is their defending that has let them down. No side in the Scottish Premiership has conceded more than their 23 goals across 10 games.
A 3-0 loss at Falkirk last time out summed up their struggles, and on the road they have won only once in five. Kilmarnock have also failed to score in four of their league games, which makes life harder still when the goals keep flying in at the other end.
