Dundee are the next visitors to East End Park on Saturday 11th September. The last 12 matches have been close encounters with no more than one goal separating the sides. The Tayside club are strongly tipped for promotion and if the Pars are to challenge at the top Dundee are one of the teams that they need to stop. Gordon Chisholm has had a mixed start to his first full season at Dens Park winning two but losing and drawing the others. He was dumped out of the Alba Challenge Cup 4-1 at Stenhousemuir and then lost on penalties in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
