Preview Dundee
Saturday, 28th Mar 2009Dunfermline have failed to score in the last six games against Dundee and the Pars have not recorded a home win over their opponents since the end of the 2004-05 season.
Tuesday`s visitors to East End Park are Jocky Scott`s Dundee. The Dees manager was in charge of Dunfermline from 1991-93 and has taken his new charges up the league table since replacing Alex Rae to begin what is his third period at the helm at Dundee.
Both teams last games were at Dingwall; Dundee getting a draw and Dunfermline losing. If Ross County are the barometer then that might suggest that Dundee will win but Dunfermline will want to bounce back from defeat while Dundee will be fighting to keep their promotion hopes alive.
