Dundee v Hearts: leaders meet resurgent hosts in Premiership test | OneFootball

Dundee and Hearts meet in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Sunday, 11 January 2026, with the leaders looking to consolidate top spot and the hosts aiming to extend an upturn in form.

Dundee sit ninth on 22 points and have won three of their last four league games. Hearts lead the table on 44 points and won November's reverse fixture 4-0.

The Jambos arrive with four wins in five, a run that included victory at Celtic and a home win over Rangers. The hosts have momentum too after successive wins over Falkirk, Kilmarnock and neighbours Dundee United.

Hearts have scored 39 league goals and conceded 17, with nine clean sheets and 53% average possession. Lawrence Shankland tops the Premiership scoring chart with 10, while Cláudio Braga has eight. Dundee have 19 goals and 33 conceded, but their playmakers can hurt teams on the break, with Cameron Congreve leading the league for assists with six.

Wide supply could be a route for Dundee, who have delivered 238 open play crosses this season. The Jam Tarts' aerial threat, reflected in 12 headed goals, may test a home defence that has struggled throughout the campaign.

A Dundee win would move them to 25 points and could lift them up the table, offering more breathing space from the lower places. The Jam Tarts would reach 47 points with victory and could strengthen their grip on first place in the title race.
