Dundee and Motherwell will do battle at Dens Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
Both teams will come into this clash still searching for their first league win of the season following four rounds of fixtures.
The hosts are currently sitting second from bottom of the table, drawing two and losing the other two of their opening four games of the season.
Last time out, Stephen Pressley’s side fell to a deflating 2-0 defeat at home to bitter rivals Dundee United.
As for Motherwell, they have four points on the board after starting the season with four consecutive draws.
The Steelmen signed off for the international break by sharing the spoils with Kilmarnock in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Fir Park.
How the bookies view it: Well set for first win
The bookies odds suggest that Motherwell will secure their maiden league win of the season on Saturday, with an away success odds-on at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Dundee come into their latest home game as 5/2 outsiders on Boylesports while a point apiece at Dens Park is also deemed unlikely at 12/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: Well seeking third win on the spin
The two teams crossed paths four times in last season’s Scottish Premiership, with each club claiming two wins apiece. However, it is worth noting that Motherwell won each of the final two meetings between the pair last season.
Players to watch: Maswanhise to make his mark?
Tawanda Maswanhise has scored in each of Motherwell’s last two Scottish Premiership matches, making the same selection on Saturday afternoon an appealing prospect at 9/4 on Boylesports.
Dundee will be hoping that captain Simon Murray can inspire them to a first league victory of the season this weekend. The experienced forward is as big as 13/5 (Boylesports) to get on the scoresheet on Saturday.
Predicted line-ups
Dundee again look set to be without injured midfielder Paul Digby, however Charlie Reilly is closing in on a return to first-team action following a spell on the sidelines.
Stephen Welsh could make his Motherwell debut on Saturday after joining the club on loan from Celtic on deadline day.
Dundee: McCracken; Wright, Astley, C Robertson, Graham, Samuels; Westley, Jones, F Robertson; Murray, Dhanda
Motherwell: Ward; O'Donnell, Balmer, McGinn, Longelo; Just, Watt, Fadinger; Maswanhise Stamatelopoulos, Said
Anything else catch the eye?
Having already taken points off the likes of Rangers, St Mirren and Hearts this season, Motherwell look well worthy of support to secure their first league win of the campaign on Saturday at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Backing Jens Berthel Askou’s visitors to deliver two or more goals at Dens Park also holds plenty of appeal at 21/20 on Boylesports.
Dundee have shipped multiple goals in each of their Scottish Premiership home games this season, while Motherwell racked up three strikes during their last road trip at high-flying Hearts.
