⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams made a good impression in the first round. Dundee showed organised play against Celtic, but at home they are unlikely to sit back and defend again - the Dark Blues will surely look to claim their sixth consecutive home win. Aberdeen, meanwhile, are riding high after a dramatic victory over Hearts and continue an impressive winning run. Head-to-head statistics generally favour the visitors, who have looked more consistent against Dundee in recent years. The Editor's Pick is total over 2.5 goals. This bet has come in in 9 of Dundee's last 10 matches. Predicted score - 2:2.
