Dundee host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. Dundee have been the more settled side this season, sitting comfortably in the top half, while Kilmarnock have found life a lot tougher further down the table.
Kilmarnock have shown they can score goals when they get going forward, but they've also leaked plenty at the back. That's the balance Dundee will be looking to exploit at Dens Park.

Dundee's league position and the gap in defensive solidity make them the logical side to back, even with the handicap removing the draw as a winning outcome for backers of Kilmarnock. Nothing in Kilmarnock's away form suggests they're about to tighten up at the back, and that's the main reason to side with the hosts here.
