Hearts will be looking to return to winning ways in the Scottish Premiership when they take on Dundee at Tynecastle on Saturday.

Derek McInnes’ side dropped points for just the second time this season when being held to a 2-2 draw by St Mirren on Wednesday night.

That stalemate, coupled with Celtic’s win over Falkirk, means that Hearts’ lead at the top of the table has been reduced to six points. Meanwhile, Dundee - despite not playing in midweek - now find themselves occupying a place in the relegation play-off spot.

📈 Dundee v Hearts Form & Stats

Having won each of their last 3 Scottish Premiership matches, Dundee are enjoying their best run of form this season. After claiming home wins over Falkirk and Kilmarnock, the Dark Blues battled to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over arch-rivals Dundee United last weekend. As a result of their current three-game winning streak, Steven Pressley’s side have pulled 13 points clear of bottom club Livingston and nine points above the play-off spot.

In this season’s Scottish Premiership, only St Mirren (16) have found the net fewer times than Dundee (19).

Steven Pressley’s side have often been slow out of the blocks this season, conceding the first goal in 13 of their 21 Scottish Premiership matches, including seven of 10 at home.

Dundee (64) have taken the fewest corners in this season’s Scottish Premiership, averaging 3.05 per game.

Hearts suffered just their second Scottish Premiership defeat of the season when losing 3-2 to Edinburgh rivals Hibs over the festive period. However, Derek McInnes’ side put that setback behind them by seeing off Livingston with a narrow 1-0 win at Tynecastle last Saturday.

Despite scoring only once last weekend, Hearts remain the leading scorers in the division, racking up 39 strikes across their opening 20 games of the campaign. It is also worth noting that Hearts have hit multiple goals in a league-high 14 of their 20 Scottish Premiership matches this season, including 8 of their 10 games away from home.

Hearts have also been fast starters in the Scottish top-flight this term, taking the lead in 14 of their 20 matches to date.

Impressively, Hearts have conceded more than one goal in only four of their 20 league matches this season.

📔 Dundee v Hearts Formation & Team News

After favouring a back-three setup during the early months of his tenure, Dundee boss Steven Pressley has settled on a 4-1-4-1 system in recent weeks.

Dundee’s injury issues are beginning to ease, with Joe Westley the only player definitely sidelined on Sunday.

Captain Simon Murray will come back into contention after serving a suspension. However, Yan Dhanda will be unavailable for selection, as he is ineligible to play against his parent club.

Derek McInnes is expected to continue with the 4-2-3-1 formation he has preferred in recent months.

Islam Chesnokov, who joined Hearts earlier this week, could make his debut for the club this weekend.

Injured trio Calem Nieuwenhof, Eduardo Ageu, and Finlay Pollock are on the mend, but Sunday’s clash with Dundee will likely come too soon for the trio.
