🔊 Dundee and Motherwell go into this match closely matched in the table.

Neither team has been picking up points consistently in recent rounds: Dundee have won just two of their last five matches, while Motherwell have the same record but have conceded more goals. The league position gives both sides plenty of motivation - each is looking to hold their place among the leading teams.

Head-to-head statistics Dundee - Motherwell
Dundee Team Overview
Dundee have had an inconsistent start to the season, which their last five matches reflect: two wins and three defeats. Their average home scoring rate is 1.17 goals per game, with the same number conceded. Over their last ten matches they have won four times and averaged 1.7 goals per game - which suggests they are capable of creating chances regularly up front, even if the defence remains vulnerable.

Match Results: Dundee
Motherwell Team Overview
Motherwell have also been inconsistent in picking up points: two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five matches reflect a mixed run of results. Their defence has looked less reliable, conceding an average of 1.7 goals per match over a ten-game stretch, while they are scoring just over one goal per game (1.1).
Despite currently sitting among the leading sides, they will need to improve at both ends of the pitch to stay there - particularly given the narrow gap to the danger zone.
Match Results: Motherwell
Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Under 3.5 looks reliable: this line has come in consistently in the last five head-to-head meetings between Dundee and Motherwell. Over the course of the season, both sides rarely exceed this total - Dundee average 1.17 goals scored and 1 conceded per match, while Motherwell average 1.33 scored and 1.5 conceded. The combined scoring figures also support a low-scoring outcome. The odds for this selection are 1.38*.
Corners Prediction
In 6 of their last 7 away matches, Motherwell have seen the total corners exceed 9.5. This trend points to consistently high corner counts specifically in Motherwell's away games. While data in other statistical categories is limited, the line looks justified for selecting Total Corners - Under 9.5 at odds of 1.98*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
The case for Both Teams to Score - Yes is supported by a clear head-to-head trend: in the last 6 matches between Dundee and Motherwell at Dundee's ground, both teams have scored every time. On top of that, both sides have shown average attacking output this season - Dundee averaging 1.17 goals per match and Motherwell 1.33 - while also conceding regularly, at 1 and 1.5 per game respectively. There is nothing in the data that significantly contradicts this, so Both Teams to Score - Yes looks a reasonable selection at odds of 1.55*.
Reliable Bet
In 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings at Dundee, Motherwell have not scored more than two goals. The visitors' season statistics support this trend as well: Motherwell average 1.33 goals per game overall and 1.67 away from home. Several factors point to the same outcome, and the Motherwell Team Total - Under 2.5 looks as solid as it gets at odds of 1.17*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-1 (12.62%), 1-0 (8.63%) and 0-1 (8.15%). The draw at 1-1 has the highest probability, though the gap between the other two options is minimal. These results reflect an expected tight contest with low scoring.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The current balance between these two sides is built around moderate scoring and noticeable defensive problems on both ends: Dundee regularly concede at home at roughly the same rate as they score, while Motherwell are even less reliable at the back with a modest attack to boot. Both clubs need to play open, attacking football to stay among the Scottish Premiership's leading sides - the table situation does not allow either team to sit back or defend deep, even against a direct rival. The editor's main prediction is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 1-2.
