ABERDEEN failed to sign Louis Moult in the summer and the striker could return to haunt them tonight.
Motherwell did well to keep their star man and he's started the campaign on fire with five goals in four games.
Stevie Robinson's men are unbeaten during that run, picking up 10 points, and on Saturday fought back from 2-0 down to draw at Hibs.
Despite their fab form Well are massive underdogs at 17-4 with bet365 in tonight's Betfred Cup quarter-final.
The price is tempting although they've only beaten the Dons once in seven at Fir Park. As the odds are so high we can have Well draw no bet at 5-2 with Paddy Power or not to lose at 23-20 with bet365.
And to qualify including extra time and penalties Well are 9-4 at McBookie.
Derek McInnes's Aberdeen have gone off the boil with back-to-back draws against Killie and Hearts but are no bigger than 7-10 at McBookie while the draw pays 3-1 with William Hill.
Moult is 6-1 with bet365 to score first and I also like him to net at any time at 7-4.
Having failed in their bid for Moult the Dons snapped up Stevie May and he's started well with three goals in his last four.
The big hitman is 9-2 at bet365 to break the deadlock and 7-4 with Betfred to net.
Both sides have netted in the last five meetings at Fir Park so back that again at 8-11 with sportingbet.
This is the first of a double header with the sides meeting again at Fir Park in the league on Sunday. To win both Motherwell are 27-1 at bet365.

Aberdeen always get short odds these days. I can’t see them getting beat though.
Not been impressed by Aberdeen in the past few weeks but I accept if they play their best they’ll win.
Bang on Mr F . Well played.
