The Scottish League Cup quarter-finals get underway tonight with what promises to be a tight and tense tie between Kilmarnock and St Mirren.
Both teams have lifted this trophy inside the last 13 years, with Killie shocking Celtic in 2012 and St Mirren beating Hearts the following year.
They now stand just 90 minutes from a Hampden return and it's a tough one to call between two evenly matched sides.
Kilmarnock vs St Mirren top betting tips
Kilmarnock have been draw specialists this season and only a controversial stoppage-time penalty from Celtic stopped them from making it five Premiership stalemates in a row.
St Mirren have also drawn four of their last five games, including a 1-1 stalemate with Hearts in the last round of the cup before they progressed on penalties.
So it wouldn't be a surprise if this one ended level and that pays 23/10 at BoyleSports. If you want to play it a little safer, the half-time draw is priced at 21/20.
With so much at stake, I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals in this one. The bookies agree as under 2.5 goals is just 4/5 at BoyleSports but betting against BTTS is a little better at evens.
Middlesbrough vs West Bromwich Albion
Middlesbrough have made a flying start to the EFL Championship season but they face a test of mettle tonight at home to in-form West Brom.
Former Luton boss Rob Edwards has hit the ground running since replacing Michael Carrick, with four wins and a draw taking Middlesbrough to the top of the table.
West Brom have also started well under Ryan Mason though and a win at the Riverside tonight would take them level on points with Boro.
The Baggies did lose for the first time last weekend, with Derby claiming a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns, so Middlesbrough look decent value at 6/5 with BoyleSports for a win.
BTTS has failed to land in the last two for West Brom and also hasn't come up in any of Boro's home games this season. So betting against it could pay off tonight at evens.
St Johnstone vs Dunfermline
The Championship leaders are also in action in Scotland tonight as St Johnstone bid to move further clear with a win over Dunfermline.
Saints have been rewarded for keeping faith with boss Simo Valakari after relegation from the top flight, with the Finn overseeing four wins and a draw in the league.
He has also done it by playing attractive football so this clash with Neil Lennon's Pars should be a decent watch.
Dunfermline thrashed Arbroath 5-0 away from home in their last outing so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals appeals tonight at 9/5 with BoyleSports. BTTS on its own is also decent at 21/20.
Andrew Tod scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline in Arbroath and looks a bit overpriced at 15/4 with Bet365 for another goal tonight.
