Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Dundee's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Dees's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Airdrie Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 12 points from their 11 games played so far, Dundee's 16 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Airdrie Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Diamonds will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
