Dundee`s last league win was on 20th February - a 1-0 win over Partick Thistle. They have won three times on the road in this league season, at Morton, Dingwall and Partick but they are draw specialist with eight out of 13 ending up all square.
The Pars managed to lose their fifth home match of this league campaign last Tuesday. Partick were outplayed but Jim McIntyre`s team paid the penalty for umpteen misses. Dunfermline have taken no points from their last two matches while Dundee have faired little better with just two.
