The Dundee derby in numbers
Briefly

Dundee United and Dundee have faced each other three times this season, producing tight matches despite contrasting league positions. United is enjoying a strong return to the top flight, while Dundee is embroiled in a relegation battle after struggling to secure victories. The gap in points is significant, with Dundee only slightly above the relegation zone, making their upcoming clashes critical for both teams. Managers stress the importance of capitalizing on these high-pressure games amidst the looming threat of relegation for Dundee and European competition for United.
"I am surprised [by Dundee's struggles]. A lot of people will be surprised given the investment that was made in the squad. But every team in the league outwith Celtic have, at one stage or another, experienced some difficult moments and it is how you come through it."
"There is plenty on the line too. Jim Goodwin's side are only three points ahead of Motherwell in seventh with four games until the split - a win against their neighbours would settle any nerves in the race for European football."
