Saint Mirren FC
- Stephen Robinson’s well-disciplined, deep, compact and counter-attacking strategy has been the blueprint of Saint Mirren FC’s playing style since he took the reins in February 2022.
- His team are not the most prolific side in the league, but they are one of the most stubborn to beat, although they have struggled at home this season and often set up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 defensive block.
- They are not prolific, with leading scorer Mikael Mandron bagging just four goals, but they are effective in numbers and very tough to break down.
Dundee FC
- Since his appointment, Pressley has instilled a similar philosophy, but with a little more tactical flexibility.
- Dundee FC will often start in a 3-4-2-1 structure with a three-man defence, but can seamlessly switch into a 4-2-3-1 when required.
- Ashley Hay is Dundee’s top scorer in the top flight this season with just two goals, but has been in particularly fine form in recent weeks, scoring three of Dundee’s last five goals in all competitions.
- Cameron Congreve is the creative hub, providing six assists in 20 Premiership 2025/2026 appearances.
Head-to-Head
- Dundee FC sit ninth in the table on 22 points after 23 games, only three points above 10th-placed Saint Mirren FC who have played one game less.
- Dundee’s away record in the Prem 2025-2026 reads just one win, three draws and eight defeats, with 21 goals conceded in 12 games.
- This fixture has been a little kinder to Dundee FC in recent seasons, with the Dee winning three of their last five meetings with Saint Mirren FC, the Budweiser Saints winning once and the other ending in a draw.
