Aberdeen vs Dundee F.C.Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Pittodrie opens the last 16 with a derby that already had a dress rehearsal: on 8 August Dundee won this fixture 2-0 on their own ground, and that was the only one of Aberdeen's last five outings in which the hosts failed to score. Before that setback they had strung together four wins, 2-1 against Heart of Midlothian, 3-0 over Kelty Hearts, 4-1 away at Queen of the South and 2-1 against Queen's Park. Dundee's recent run is more uneven: since that derby win they have lost 1-0 at Celtic, while the previous weeks brought a 4-0 defeat of Clyde, a 1-1 draw away to Ross County and a heavy 4-0 loss to Everton. The head-to-head swings from one side to the other: Aberdeen won 4-0 in October 2025 and 3-1 away in December, Dundee took a 3-2 at Pittodrie in February, another 3-2 at home in May and then the 2-0 in August. Only two of those five meetings ended with a clean sheet for either side. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
