MOTHERWELL were battered by the blue half of Dundee on Sunday and can’t afford to be off-colour when the Tangerines come calling tonight.
That 3-0 loss at Dens Park brought up both of my tips as I had backed the Dark Blues to win most corners and bet against BTTS.
But I didn’t expect Well to be so outclassed, with boss Graham Alexander admitting his players showed their “ugly side” in Tayside.
Dundee United drew at the weekend but it will have felt like a defeat as they let 10-man Ross County salvage a point at the death in Dingwall.
They will also be desperate to make amends tonight at Fir Park and I fancy BTTS at evens with McBookie.
It ended 2-1 to United when these sides faced off at Tannadice earlier this season and another one-goal winning margin for either side appeals at 5/4 (McBookie).
We saw 15 corners that day, with 11 of them going to Well. The Steelmen are 3/4 at BetVictor to win most of them tonight while over 10.5 match corners is 5/6 at Bet365.
Kevin van Veen should start for Well after coming off the bench at the weekend and is 12/5 at Paddy Power for anytime scorer.
There are two games in England’s top flight tonight and Newcastle will be doomed if they fail to beat Norwich at St James’.
The Magpies are 42/41 at SBK and that’s worth a punt as they will never have a better chance to claim their first league win this season.
Leeds are also desperate for points as they host Crystal Palace and BTTS looks the shout at 10/13 with SBK.
Super Singles
- One-goal winning margin at Fir Park (5/4, McBookie)

McBookie Bet Builder
