Preview Dundee
Wednesday, 12th Jan 2011Dundee have won their last six league matches and are unbeaten since they visited Cowdenbeath on 25th September.
Dundee are the next visitors to East End Park and it is a top of the table clash since if you ignore the potential 25 point deduction for going into administration, they are only one point behind the Pars both having played 17 matches.
The Pars won 3-1 when the Dees came to East End Park in September and the return game at Dens Park ended up 2-2 after the home side came back from two goals down. Despite the penalty hanging over the club, Dundee have only lost one match since going into administration and that was just last Sunday in the Scottish Cup at home to the SPL`s, Motherwell.
