Dundee welcome Aberdeen to Dens Park on Saturday 8th August at 3pm, with two of last season’s lower-half sides getting Matchday 2 of the new Scottish Premiership<\/a> campaign underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is not a lot to split these two on last season’s evidence. Dundee finished eighth on 42 points and Aberdeen a place and a point back in ninth on 40, and both leaked goals at a rate that should keep this one lively. We are drawn to the goals markets as a result, and we have found a Kevin Nisbet price we like as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the rest of our weekend football tips<\/a> before kick-off, but for this Dens Park meeting our two headline plays are laid out below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two selections take our eye at Dens Park, and both lean on the same theme: goals. Neither side is built to keep it tight, so we are happy to side with an open, end-to-end afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>10\/11 (with bet365<\/a>)<\/td>Neither of these defences kept things tight last season, with Dundee shipping 61 goals and Aberdeen 55, and the fixture itself has been a goal-fest. Every one of the last five league meetings between the pair has cleared three goals, so at around evens the over looks the play.<\/td><\/tr>
Kevin Nisbet to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>2\/1 (with Paddy Power<\/a>)<\/td>Nisbet was Aberdeen’s main man in front of goal last season with nine league strikes, and he leads the line against a Dundee side that was picked off far too easily at the back. For a proven finisher up against a defence that conceded 61, 15\/8 looks a shade too big.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
