Competition: Scottish Premiership
Market: Dundee FC win
Odds: 19/20 @ Pribet
Looking to make a return to winning ways on Boxing Day afternoon, Dundee FC will welcome Ross County to Dens Park.
Starting with the hosts, while Dundee might have eventually fallen to a 1-0 loss away at Scottish giants Rangers last weekend, the Dark Blues should take plenty of positives away from a largely gritty performance at Ibrox. Springing an upset last season as they secured a top-half finish, Tony Docherty’s men are desperate for a repeat outcome in 2025. Opening December with a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 4-1 romp against Motherwell, Dundee will certainly be excited by a return to home soil on Boxing Day. Despite struggling to find much stability since returning from November’s international break, Thursday’s hosts have continued to shine with their success at Dens Park. Marking their return from November’s fortnight interval with another astonishing 4-1 romp against Hibernian, Docherty’s side have won each of their last three consecutive Premiership showdowns in front of their own supporters. In fact, the Dark Blues have won those trio of top-flight battles at Dens Park by an aggregate score of 11-4.
As for the visitors, while Ross County might have marked their return from November’s international break with a much-needed 2-1 win against Motherwell, the Stages have come crashing back down to earth. Although Don Cowie’s side might have limped their way over the finishing line last season as they managed to keep hold of their Premiership status, the Dingwall-based outfit find themselves at the heart of another struggle. Suffering late heartbreak at home against St. Mirren last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss, the former Watford midfielder has seen his squad lose each of their previous four straight Premiership appearances. Signing off November with a routine 5-0 drumming at the hands of defending champions Celtic, Ross County have lost those four consecutive outings by an aggregate score of 13-2. Putting just a single victory on the board since the end of October, Cowie’s downbeat squad should face another tricky test when they travel to Dens Park on Boxing Day.
