Dundee
- Dundee have won their last three games, including 2-1 at home to Kilmarnock and 1-0 at arch-rivals Dundee United, and confidence is building in the camp.
- Steven Pressley’s men set up in a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 in which they are solid in defence, get the wing-backs forward in transition and play direct football, particularly when under pressure.
- Cameron Congreve has 6 assists in 18 Premiership games, providing good service from midfield.
- In contrast, Ashley Hay is Dundee’s top scorer with just 2 goals in 17 league games, so the goals are shared around the team.

Hearts

- They have 44 points from their 20 matches at the top of the Premiership.
- Derek McInnes’ men play a disciplined, vertical style which has taken them to the top of the standings.
- Hearts set up in a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 hybrid and play structured pressing football, looking to get the ball forward quickly and exploit the spaces the hosts leave.
- Lawrence Shankland is their talisman and has 10 goals in 19 Premiership matches this season.
- Hearts have 6 wins, 2 draws and just 2 defeats away from home, averaging 1.80 goals per away game.
