Hearts v Dundee: leaders meet bottom-half visitors on five-game unbeaten run | OneFootball

Hearts face Dundee in the Scottish Premiership at Tynecastle Park on Saturday, 21 March 2026, with the hosts looking to consolidate top spot and the visitors aiming to extend a five-match unbeaten league run and climb from eighth.

Hearts edged the reverse fixture 1-0 away in January and now bring the game to Edinburgh, where they have not lost in the league this season.

The Jambos have three wins from five. Dundee are unbeaten in five league matches, drawing three and winning two in that spell.

The Jam Tarts have scored 52 and kept 15 clean sheets, powered by Cláudio Braga's 12 league goals and Lawrence Shankland's 11. With 53% possession and 15 headed goals, their aerial threat is clear. Dundee have scored 31 and conceded 48. Cameron Congreve leads their creativity with seven assists, while Simon Murray has five league goals.

Wide delivery could matter. The Jambos' open-play cross accuracy is 20.54%, compared with Dundee's 15.95%, and that supply may test a back line that has conceded freely. The visitors' recent resilience suggests they could look to keep the match tight.

A home win would take the Jambos to 66 points and strengthen their grip on first place. Victory for Dundee would move them to 35 points and could lift them to seventh, nudging them towards the top-six picture.
