Dundee v Aberdeen: relegation group neighbours separated by one point | OneFootball

Dundee host Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Sunday, 17 May 2026, with just one point between the sides in the relegation group and a higher finish up for grabs.

Dundee and Aberdeen have met three times this season and the visitors won all three, 4-0 and 3-1 before edging a 3-2 in February. That run frames a test for the hosts to turn the head to head tide.

Recent form offers a contrast: Dundee's last five read draw, loss, win, win, loss, while The Dons' sequence is win, win, draw, win, loss.

Season numbers point to different routes. Dundee have scored 39 and conceded 59, with nine headed goals and 43% possession. The Dons have 38 for and 52 against, 10 clean sheets and 48% of the ball, plus 18.14% open play cross accuracy. Dundee's open play cross accuracy stands at 15.12%. Kevin Nisbet leads their scoring with nine league goals, while Simon Murray has seven for Dundee. Creative supply could matter: Cameron Congreve has seven assists for the hosts and Stuart Armstrong five for the visitors.

In the relegation group table The Dons sit second on 40 points and Dundee are third on 39. A home win would lift Dundee above their visitors, while an away victory would confirm second place for The Dons. A draw would leave the order unchanged.
