Dundee vs Rangers Prediction: A win expected for the visitors to keep their top spot

Rangers aim to consolidate their position atop the Scottish Premiership this Sunday as they travel to face Dundee. Despite the hosts' determination to secure a top-four spot, they face a formidable challenge against a resolute Rangers side.

Dundee have rebounded effectively after a heavy defeat to Celtic, securing a draw against Kilmarnock before defeating Aberdeen in their latest fixture. Tony Docherty's squad demonstrated defensive prowess in their narrow victory over Aberdeen, highlighted by Luke McCowan's decisive penalty. Positioned just six points behind fourth-placed St Mirren, Dundee remain in contention for a European berth this season. Another positive outcome would bolster their pursuit, although they must shore up their defense against Rangers, who boast the league's second-most potent attack. Dundee's defensive frailty, evident in their league-high goals conceded, could pose a challenge against Rangers' lethal offensive threat.

Following a setback against Benfica in Europa League play, Rangers seek redemption in this encounter. Despite dominating possession against Benfica, Rangers only managed three shots on target from their 12 attempts. Meanwhile, Benfica registered 13 shots, with Rafa Silva finding the net. Philippe Clement's Rangers have scored 12 goals in their last six matches while conceding just five. Their recent record against Dundee suggests they hold an advantage, having avoided defeat in their last four away league encounters and maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last four away matches overall.

Dundee's recent form indicates they will pose a significant challenge to Rangers as they strive for a top-four finish. However, Rangers' formidable attacking prowess is likely to overwhelm the hosts, positioning them favorably to secure victory and maintain their position atop the league standings.
