Dundee FC vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | January 9th 2025

Dundee FC will host Rangers at Dens Park on Thursday night in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The match, which was originally scheduled to hold on November 2 2024, was postponed due to a fixture clash with the visitors' Scottish League Cup semi-final.

The Dee picked up points for just the second time in their last six matches with a 3-1 win over bottom-placed St. Johnstone during the weekend. The hosts currently sit in eighth place in the Scottish top flight, with only seven wins in 21 matches played.

They have struggled to find consistent form all season, failing to pick up any back-to-back wins and are unlikely to end that trend this midweek.

Rangers will be disappointed to have dropped points for the third time in their last five league matches in a 3-3 draw with Hibernian over the weekend. The visitors were two goals up in the first 20 minutes before squandering the lead and failing to get all three points despite going 3-2 up in the 74th minute.

Currently sitting in second place, Rangers' recent form has seen them fall 13 points behind league leaders Celtic and a win this midweek will be important if they are to remain in the title race.

Dundee FC vs Rangers Prediction

The hosts, who have lost two of their last three matches, are unlikely to get a result when they host last season's runners-up due to the gulf in quality between the two sides.

Rangers will only need to cover up their recent defensive lapses to get all three points when they make the trip to Dundee this midweek. The visitors are the much better side and are likely to continue their dominant history in this fixture.

Prediction: Dundee FC 1-2 Rangers
