Premiership, played Wednesday, April 17th, 2024
Here is our Dundee v Rangers tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Rangers away win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
There is also action in the Scottish top flight on Wednesday night as sixth placed Dundee play host to second placed Rangers at their Dens Park in the Premiership with both teams needing all three points to boost their respective league title and Championship Round prospects in this last remaining game of the domestic top flight regular season before the league splits into two.
Dundee head into this final game of the regular season on the back of a point earned by way of a 0-0 draw away from home at Aberdeen and although the hosts previously suffered a 3-2 loss at home to Motherwell, Tony Docherty's side have just about done enough to confirm a top six finish in the top half of the Premiership table and therefore a place in the upcoming Championship Round.
Dundee will be hoping they can move up the table though and leapfrog St Mirren who are three points ahead of them but this looks a tall order as Dundee have an inferior goal difference of -5 and this would mean that The Dee would need to beat Rangers by six clear goals to achieve this!
However, Dundee have picked up just two wins from their last seven games overall but the prospects of a few goals here on Wednesday night look promising as five of these seven games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
Rangers will be eager to make the most of their game in hand over their Old Firm rivals, Celtic, when they make their way to Dens Park for this upcoming midweek clash against Dundee and indeed all three points would see The Gers move to within a point of their title rivals ahead of the upcoming split in the division.
Following an impressive nine-match winning streak in the Scottish Premiership which included wins on the road collected at the likes of Hibernian, St Mirren, St Johnstone and Kilmarnock, Rangers have struggled to continue that impressive momentum in recent weeks.
Philippe Clement's side have managed to register just one more win from their last four league games which came in the form of a 3-1 home win against Hibernian but having also been handed defeats by Motherwell 2-1 at home and a 3-2 loss away from home at Ross County, together with a 3-3 draw with Celtic, the visitors have experienced a mini bump in the road of late.
Nevertheless, goals should feature in this upcoming clash with Dundee as each of Rangers' last 10 games overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.
Dundee v Rangers Verdict
Five of the previous six meetings have resulted in Over 2.5 goals with Rangers winning all six of these encounters, so goals plus an away win looks set to unfold at Dens Park.
Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50
Other side bets worth considering:
Rangers win & Over 3.5 goals @ 2.50
Correct Score: Rangers 2-1 @ 9.50
