Dundee v St Mirren: survival stakes as both seek a reset | OneFootball

Dundee host St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Saturday, 2 May 2026, with relegation-group points in play and both sides looking to arrest poor runs.

These two drew 0-0 in January. Dundee won 3-1 at home in November, while St Mirren edged the September meeting 1-0. The recent head to head picture is balanced and low scoring.

Form is fragile on both sides. Dundee are winless in five league games, taking two draws in that spell. St Mirren followed back to back wins with three straight defeats in league and cup, including losses to Celtic and Livingston.

Season profiles point to fine margins. Dundee have scored 34 and conceded 56, while St Mirren have 27 for and 50 against. The visitors deliver plenty from wide areas, attempting 545 open play crosses with 22.20% accuracy and producing 11 headed goals, so deliveries from Scott Tanser and Declan John could be a route. For the hosts, Cameron Congreve has seven league assists and Simon Murray has seven goals, offering a clear supply and finish axis. Set pieces may be less decisive, with Dundee yet to score from one and St Mirren registering just one.

In the relegation group, Dundee sit on 33 points and a win would lift them to 36, potentially moving level with Aberdeen and easing pressure. St Mirren are on 30 and victory would take them to 33, drawing level with the hosts and tightening the bottom half picture.
