The Scottish Championship match between Arbroath FC and FC Dundee on April 8, 2023, culminated in a staunchly-fought goalless draw. The low scoring can be attributed to a combination of solid goalscoring defence work and less efficient attacking exploits from both sides.

Arbroath FC managed only 2 shots on target from a total of 7 shots, struggling to pose a significant danger in front of the goal. Their higher pivotal attempts were indicative of their positional advantage with 4 corners they had in contrast to Dundee's 3, but their ineffectiveness to convert these into decisive shots is significant. Their tactical movements were disrupted to a decent extent by the single offside call against them, restricting their ability to exploit space behind Dundee's defensive line. The 3 tactical substitutions reported could not evidently alter the dynamics of play in their favour.

On the other hand, FC Dundee, despite having squeezed out more shots on target (3 out of 7), failed to convert these attempts, marking a disappointing conversion rate. Their more assertive stance on the field, as suggested by the two offsides they incurred, points towards an aggressive, yet unsuccessful, strategy to disrupt Arbroath's defence and break through with goal-scoring opportunities. FC Dundee were, however, more conservative with their in-game modifications, making only 2 substitutions.

The elevated foul rate seen in this match (25 interventions by the referee in total) gave it an somewhat irregular rhythm. Arbroath FC and FC Dundee registered 12 and 13 fouls respectively. Such figures reflect a game with aggressive pressuring and tight marking strategies, limiting the prospects for a more fluid play and effective attacking incursions.

In conclusion, neither team managed to assert its dominance despite having multiple corners and shots at the goal. The lack of goals can be attributed to the fact that both teams struggled to maintain precision in their final third and were unable to navigate the opposition's defensive pressure and structure. The high number of fouls and offsides calls also hampered any potential break through in this match.
