Hearts v Dundee: top-three charge meets top-six bid | OneFootball

Hearts host Dundee in the Scottish Premiership at Tynecastle Park on Sunday, 6 September 2026, with third facing fifth as the early top-six picture takes shape.

Hearts have had the upper hand in this fixture, beating Dundee 1-0 in March and 1-0 in January after a 4-0 home win in November 2025.

The Jambos arrive on three straight league wins, including a 3-1 derby success at Hibernian. Dundee opened with victories over Aberdeen and at Dundee United before a home defeat to Hibernian and a draw with St Johnstone.

The Jam Tarts have averaged 2.5 goals per game with 78.04% pass accuracy and 50% shot accuracy, while Dundee tend to play without the ball at 39% possession, have two clean sheets and 21.67% cross accuracy from open play. Josh McPake and James Wilson are on two league goals each for the hosts, while Joe Westley has two for Dundee. That blend suggests the visitors may target quick counters and wide deliveries, while the hosts could press through combinations in the final third.

A win would move the Jambos to 12 points and could consolidate a top-three position. Dundee would go to 10 and could climb towards the top four.
