Dundee vs Motherwell Lineups and Last Match
Dundee
After several years of existence in the Second Tier Dundee are finally back in the top flight. Determined to stay they added some quality players in the summer. The best one is the Mexican striker Pineda, who is expected to be a key figure up front.
Dundee warmed up for the new campaign with a decent run in the group stage of the League Cup. They won 3 of their 4 games there and this was enough to progress.
All the team news is good with the regulars seemingly fit and ready to go.
Predicted Lineup – Legzdins (GK), Portales, Shaughnessy, Ashcroft, Mulligan, Boateng, McGhee, Tiffoney, Beck, Pineda & Robinson
Motherwell
They had a disappointing last season. Improved in late spring but the damage was already done and there was no place in Europe for Motherwell.
In the summer 8 players left and 10 new ones arrived, so there are plenty of new faces in the club. This didn't unsettle the preparations though and Motherwell won 8 out of their last 9 matches. They topped their League Cup group with 4 wins in 4, 3 of those accompanied by clean sheets.
Defenders Lamie and Ferrie are doubtful. Both picked up knocks in training. No long-term absentees.
Predicted Lineup – Kelly (GK), Blaney, Mugabi, Cassey, McGinn, Miller, Paton, Souare, Slattery, Wilkinson & Spittal.
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Liam Kelly
Motherwell's talented goalkeeper Liam Kelly has started every league game for his team for the past 2 seasons. Over that period he has the 3rd most saves in the Scottish top flight and has accumulated 22 clean sheets.
Undoubtedly, Kelly's ability to keep clean sheets will be vital again this season. Watch out for Kelly opening the new campaign with yet another solid display and a shutdown.
