Tony Docherty wants Dundee to spoil Hibs' party when he takes his side to Easter Road on Sunday.
The resurgent third-place Hibees will equal a club record of 17 league games unbeaten - set in 1948 - should they take at least a point against the visitors.
Dundee, on the other hand, occupy the relegation play-off spot and are five points ahead of St Johnstone at the bottom with six games to play as they chase survival.
"We play the same way all the time," manager Docherty said.
"In every game we set up to win the match, but we are playing against a good team in Hibs.
"They have done exceptionally well recently, but in the last four they are on the same run as us, they've also won two, drawn one and lost one [Hibs were beaten by Celtic in the cup].
"So two teams on form, but they are at home and I think they have a record to try to break so that is another motivation for us, to try and make sure they don't do that.
"But any game you analyse your opponents, they have their strength and weaknesses and we have worked on that all week.
"We always set out to win every match we play but we know there has to be a balance between in possession and out of possession and we'll be endeavouring to do that.
"Hopefully we can give ourselves a shot in the arm by going into that split with another victory under our belt, another three points and putting ourselves in a decent position."
