Last Meeting
Dundeeâs good run came to an end with a 2-0 derby defeat against Dundee United at the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park. Following a poor first half United emerged after the interval as the more composed and dangerous side. A Nicky Clark penalty and an opportunist goal by Lawrence Shankland gave the visitors victory.

Dundee Unitedâs Season So Far
United opened their season with a tricky Betfred Cup tie away at Hearts and acquitted themselves well in a 1-1 draw before losing the bonus point in the penalty shoot out.
They followed that up with a 2-1 win over Stenhousemuir and then Unitedâs first home game of the season saw them win 3-0 over Cowdenbeath.
However they crashed out the competition after a 2-0 defeat to East Fife at Tannadice.
Their appearance in the Tunnocks Caramel Wafers Challenege Cup was also brief after crashing out in their first match on penalties after drawing 0-0 with Arbroath at Tannadice.
In the Ladbrokes Championship, United have fared better after and sit three points clear at the top of the league. They started the league season impressively with wins over Inverness, Partick, Dunfermline and Dundee before crashing 2-0 at Ayr.
They needed a last minute winner to gain revenge over Arbroath with a 2-1 a fortnight after that Challenge Cup loss before turning Morton over 6-0 at Tannadice.
Defeats however at Alloa and Queen of the South wer cause for concern to The Arabs but they bounced back with nine consecutive wins to go clear at the top of the table.
