After seeing Crystal Palace let us down at Southampton on Wednesday, Saturday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the Scottish Premiership, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Dundee vs St Mirren
🏴 Premiership
⏰ Saturday 5 April, 15:00
Dundee will look to move themselves from danger as they welcome top-six hopefuls St Mirren to Dens Park on Saturday in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Despite their position in the table, Tony Docherty’s hosts are the joint third-highest scorers in the Scottish Premiership, slamming in 48 goals across their opening 31 matches, with 30 (63%) of them coming on home soil.
The Dark Blues have made the net bulge in all bar two of their opening 16 league outings in front of their supporters – notching on multiple occasions in eight (50%) of them – and will look to trouble a Saints defence that has kept just two clean sheets on the road this season, shipping 2+ goals in 11 (73%) of them.
Stephen Robinson’s visitors have scored 42 goals across their opening 31 fixtures in the Scottish top flight this term, with 20 (48%) of them coming on their travels.
The Buddies have found the back of the net in 11/15 (73%) of their away matches – striking on multiple occasions in three of their last four and six of their past 10 – and will look to trouble a Dundee defence that has kept a solitary clean sheet in the league this season, conceding a league-high 67 goals.
Bet of the Day
Dundee’s opening 31 contests in the Scottish Premiership this season have averaged a league-high 3.71 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in 23 (74%) of them.
Those numbers rise even further when playing at home, with their 16 Premiership fixtures at Dens Park averaging a staggering 4.13 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals banking in 14 (88%) of them.
St Mirren’s opening 15 Premiership contests on their travels this campaign have averaged an eye-catching 3.27 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals banking in 12 (80%) of them.
What’s more, the two previous meetings between the pair have produced seven goals, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in both – including a 2-2 draw at this venue at the end of August – and I’m expecting the goals to flow once again.
- Over 2.5 Goals
- Pays 10/11 (Bet365/Betfred)
