Dundee FC enter this Premiership clash in strong form after edging Dundee United 1–0 in the derby, extending their run to three straight wins. However, we predict a 1-0 win over Hearts this time out as the league leaders look unstoppable at the moment. Despite the absence of forward Joe Westley, Steven Presley’s men have been efficient at home, earning 1.80 points per game and scoring 1.40 goals on average at Dens Park. However, defensive inconsistencies remain an issue, with Dundee conceding 1.60 goals per home match and posting an xGA of 1.78, suggesting they often allow opponents high-quality chances.
The Jambos continue to set the pace at the top of the table, winning four of their last five league outings. Derek McInnes’s side look well-balanced, averaging 1.50 goals scored while conceding just 0.80 per game overall. Their defensive structure is particularly impressive away from home, highlighted by an xGA of only 1.22. Even with Ageu, Pollock, and Nieuwenhof sidelined, the visitors have the squad depth to cope and maintain their title push.
Historically, Hearts hold the H2H edge with 18 wins from 32 meetings, including more clean sheets and more consistent attacking output. Given Hearts' stronger form and better structure, Away Win is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Under 3.5 goals and Hearts to Win to Nil.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 14:00.
