TWO sides neck-and-neck in Scottish League Cup Group H will lock horns on Tuesday night as Queen's Park take on Dundee.
With only goal difference separating the pair in the standings, the fixture is one of great importance to both clubs who are bidding to reach the round of 16.
The Spiders' six points came courtesy of a pair of 5-2 and 4-1 wins over League Two duo Stranraer and Forfar respectively.
Those high-scoring victories mean Owen Coyle's side sit top of the pool but the acid test comes this midweek against Dundee.
Gary Bowyer's tenure as Dundee boss started with a comfortable 3-0 win over Hamilton Accies on the opening weekend of the competition.
The Dark Blues banked another three points with a 3-0 win at Stranraer on Saturday and another victory here will put them on the verge of qualification.
Outright Betting
Queen's Park head into this tie as 2/1 outsiders with Bet 365 while the normal time can be backed at a best 23/10 with BetVictor.
Dundee, who can move to the summit of the section with victory on Tuesday night, make the trip south as 11/10 favourites with Betfred.
Betting Angles
Dundee will have their backers at the aforementioned price but I would rather take the 4/5 on offer with William Hill for both teams to score.
Goals have been a regular feature in Queen's Park's Premier Sports Cup campaign so far, with both of their fixtures yielding a combined total of 14 strikes.
What's more, both teams to score has been a winning bet in each of those two matches and I see no reason to oppose a repeat at Ochilview.
Dundee boss Bowyer has some decent attacking talent at his disposal, not to mention his side have notched up exactly three strikes across their opening two group games.
While Dundee have yet to concede a goal n this season's league cup, they are likely to face a much tougher test against the free-scoring Spiders.
With all this in mind, backing both teams to oblige holds obvious appeal when the top-two in the section go toe-to-toe on Tuesday night.
For reasons already discussed, siding with over 2.5 goals during this contest also stands out at even-money with William Hill.
Overs has cashed in each of the four fixtures involving these two sides in this year's Scottish League Cup so supporting the same play here looks worth taking on at evens.
