Motherwell are currently outsiders to end Aberdeen's Scottish Cup reign at 7/4 with McBookie.com, but that price is surely unlikely to last until kick off.
Both sides should be fresh for this fifth round tie on Saturday night after their midweek games were called off – we still managed a 5/2 winner though despite the postponments.
But there is no question that all the momentum and the form going into this points to a Well win.
Motherwell not only knocked the Dons out of the League Cup at Pittodrie, they also beat them at Fir Park.
Two other snippets of doom if you are an Aberdeen fan is that the Dons have failed to defeat Motherwell in a Scottish Cup tie at home, stretching back 101 years!
And the last time Aberdeen were Scottish Cup holders in 1990, Motherwell knocked them out at Pittodrie on their way to winning the trophy the following season.
But returning to the present time and the Dons are struggling badly at defending with injuries and suspensions and Motherwell will fancy their chances here.
They are a freescoring side with Tawanda Maswanhise scoring in his last six games for Motherwell and Uganda in the African Cup of Nations.perhaps
Don't be surprised if Well move closer to evens for this tie and they should oblige.
Dundee United vs Spartans predictions
There are plenty of long odds-on shots in the Scottish Cup and while all should get through, Dundee United might be given a bigger test than their 1/5 price suggests against Spartans.
United are pretty inconsistent at the moment and look far from secure at the back in particular, as they showed against Hibs in midweek when they conceded two late goals to somehow lose.
They are facing the League Two leaders who go to Tannadice with nothing to lose and should be brimming with confidence.
They have scored nine goals in their last three games – against East Kilbride and Elgin City and will certainly have a go.
They are 4/5 with McBookie.com for a two-goal start on the handicaps and this might be tighter than their odds of 10/1 suggest.
Edinburgh City vs East Kilbride predictions
East Kilbride bounced back last week in decent style from their shock 6-0 home hammering from Spartans and they should have too much for Edinburgh City at McBookie.com's 19/20.
The season has not gone to plan for the pre-season title favourites, but they can cut the gap to three points with a win at Meadowbank, with leaders Spartans on Cup duty.
City have won just one home league game all season and have conceded 13 goals in their last four home games.
