Both Dundee and Hearts are looking for their first victory of the Scottish Premiership season on Saturday.
On Matchday One, Dundee earned a 2-2 draw at Dundee United in the derby, while Hearts drew 0-0 with Rangers at Tynecastle.
Dundee current form
Dundee were one of the most impressive teams in the League Cup Group Phase as they won all four of their games against Bonnyrigg Rose, Arbroath, Annan Athletic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
In those four games, they scored no less than 18 goals.
Last weekend, they shared the points in the draw with Dundee United.
Hearts current form
Hearts played three pre-season friendlies and lost three pre-season friendlies in preparation for their Premiership opener last weekend.
They lost 2-1 against Leyton Orient, 5-1 against Tottenham and 3-0 against Fleetwood.
The draw earned versus Rangers was deserved, though.
