Team News

Dundee FC
Aberdeen
  • Dundee boss Tony Docherty named six changes to the Dee team that suffered a 7-1 midweek mauling away to Celtic in Glasgow, before a late leveller for opponents Kilmarnock saw them leave Dens Park with a point in a 2-2 draw.
  • Jon McCracken replaced Trevor Carson in goal. Aaron Donnelly replaced Ricki Lamie to join Antonio Portales and Joe Shaughnessy in the back three. Josh Mulligan replaced Jordan McGhee at right wing-back.
  • Owen Beck continued at left wing-back. Mo Sylla and Lyall Cameron took Malachi Boateng and Finlay Robertston’s places in midfield, joined by Luke McCowan. Scott Tiffoney replaced Amadou Bakayoko to join Curtis Main up front.
  • Interim Aberdeen boss Neil Warnock made two changes from the Dons' 2-1 defeat to St Mirren in Paisley where they collapsed to two late goals, before they booked their spot in the Scottish Cup semi-finals with a 3-1 win against Kilmarnock.
  • Jack MacKenzie took Richard Jensen's place at left-back, joining Angus MacDonald, Stefan Gartenmann and Nicky Devlin in the final back four chosen by Warnock as Aberdeen boss.
  • Graeme Shinnie and Connor Barron continued in front of the back four. Junior Hoilett and Killian Phillips were joined by Jamie McGrath - as opposed to Duk - in support of lone striker Bojan Miovski before the veteran boss departed the Dons.

Prediction

  • Two top six hopefuls meet at Dens Park, as Dundee host Aberdeen in one of two Scottish Premiership encounters taking place on Wednesday night.
  • The Dee were denied the chance to remain in the top half as, alongside Hibernian getting the better of Ross County at Easter Road, 10-man Kilmarnock left it late to depart Dens Park with a point. Dundee have won just five of their 13 Scottish Premiership matches at Dens Park so far this season, a tally that must improve if they are to cap off a wonderful return to the top tier.
  • Aberdeen advanced into the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup with an impressive win against Kilmarnock, proving a pleasant distraction from an abysmal Scottish Premiership campaign so far. On the hunt for yet another manager after Neil Warnock's shock departure, it appears as though the Dons will appoint his successor imminently. But it appears a tough task to turn this ship around.
  • Dundee held Aberdeen at home in a 1-1 draw back in January but, given it's tough to know which Aberdeen will turn up, it might be the Dons' turn to hold the Dee at Dens on this occasion.
