AFTER a feast of Champions League football over the last three days, it's slimmer picking for punters today.
But there's a League Cup quarter-final in Scotland and it's a tough one to call as Dundee United head to Fir Park to take on Motherwell.
Both teams have made decent starts in the SPFL Premiership, with United sitting fourth and Well just one point and one place behind them.
They also took similar paths to the last eight, with the Tannadice side beating St Mirren 1-0 at home and the Steelmen beating Kilmarnock by the same margin at Fir Park after extra-time.
So this promises to be a tight game as they battle for a place at Hampden in the last four.

Motherwell vs Dundee United top betting tips
With these sides evenly matched the draw is appealing at 85/40 with Betano but the half-time stalemate might be safer at 11/10 with Bet365.
Given the scoreline ended 1-0 in the last round for both these sides it could pay to be against a lot of goals. Under 2.5 strikes is just 4/5 at Betano but betting against BTTS is better at 21/20 and that landed in two of the four meetings last term.
The card markets could be worth a look too with both teams desperate to seal a trip to Hampden. Motherwell midfielder Andy Halliday is 12/5 at Bet365 to go in the book and United stopper Ross Graham is 15/4 for a fourth card this term.
Stoke City vs Hull City top tips
New Stoke City boss Narcis Pelach makes his dugout debut tonight just two days after his appointment as Hull City come calling.
Steven Schumacher's sacking came as something of a surprise as Stoke's start to the season wasn't that bad, banking six points from their first five games.
It's Hull City who find themselves in the drop zone after three draws and two defeats, with those losses coming in their last two games against Leeds and Sheffield United.
A lack of firepower has cost the Tigers so far and Stoke's last two league games have ended in 1-0 scorelines so I'd be surprised if this game was a thriller.
Betano price under 2.5 goals at 20/23 and that looks decent value while betting against BTTS pays 21/20.
The two meetings last season averaged 15 corners across the two games so over 10.5 flag kicks also appeals at 10/11. Adding on one more corner boosts the odds to 11/8.
Deportivo Alaves vs Sevilla top betting tips
There's one game in La Liga tonight and Sevilla will be looking to build some more momentum with a win at Deportivo Alaves.
Sevilla were the big underachievers last term as they could only finish a lowly 14th and they started the new campaign poorly as well, going four games without a win.
But they claimed a 1-0 victory at home to Getafe last week and another three points at Alaves will fire them up the table.
It won't be easy though with Alaves unbeaten at home this season so the half-time draw looks the best option at evens with Betano.
Both meetings last term were thrillers, with Alaves winning 4-3 at home then 3-2 in Sevilla. That suggests combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals could pay off at 6/4, while over 2.5 strikes on its own pays 28/25.
