Dundee Seeks to Boost Home Record Against Motherwell

Dundee faces a challenging festive fixture list, with three of their upcoming five matches scheduled away from home. These away fixtures include difficult encounters against Hearts, Rangers, and St Mirren. Following last weekend’s draw against Kilmarnock, manager Tony Docherty emphasized the team’s ongoing effort to secure points in away games, alongside a commitment to fully leverage their home advantage when playing before the Dens Park supporters. This underscores the significance of utilizing home advantage, a factor Dundee has not consistently achieved this season. Specifically, Docherty’s squad has secured victories in only three of the seven league matches played in Dundee, suffering defeats in three of those same fixtures. However, there are indications that this trend may be reversing. The team has won its most recent two matches at Dens Park, against Hibs and Kilmarnock, scoring a total of seven goals during these games. While two wins do not definitively establish a long-term pattern, Dundee has an opportunity to further improve their home statistics when they host Motherwell on Wednesday. This match holds considerable importance for Dundee; a victory would see them return to the top six and draw level on points with Motherwell, a favorable position ahead of their upcoming away fixtures.
