Saturdays top tips 2

The group stage of the Scottish League Cup finishes this weekend and a few Premiership clubs still have some work to do this afternoon.

Dundee have already crashed out and Livingston could be the next top-flight team to join them as they sit third in Group H heading into their final game.

A win over Kelty Hearts today would guarantee second place but with only the best three runners-up going through, it still may not be enough.

Livingston vs Kelty Hearts top betting tips

Although Livingston trail both East Fife and Kilmarnock, those teams face each other today at Rugby Park so a win would see the Lions jump above one of them.

Goal difference could end up deciding which of the best runners-up qualify for the last 16 so David Martindale's men need to go for it today, with their tally standing at just plus two.

BoyleSports make the Lions 2/11 hot favourites against League One Kelty but you can boost the odds to 23/20 by combining the home win with over 3.5 goals.

Livingston have conceded just two goals in the group so far so backing them for a win to nil also appeals at 21/20.

Kilmarnock vs East Fife

Kilmarnock sit at the top of Group H but still need a win at home to East Fife today to secure their place in the last 16.

It has been steady but unspectacular so far under new boss Stuart Kettlewell, with 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Brora and Livingston followed by a 0-0 draw with Kelty.

League Two East Fife are only a point behind them so a shock win at Rugby Park would see them top a section that includes two Premiership clubs.

The bookies can't see it though as BoyleSports price the Fifers at 10/1, with Killie the 1/5 hot favourites. With Kettlewell's side yet to hit the boil, I fancy a Kilmarnock win with under 3.5 goals in this one at 13/10 with BoyleSports.

The Rugby Park side have yet to concede under their new boss so another win to nil for a Premiership side also appeals at 21/20.

Falkirk vs Spartans

Falkirk sit top of Group A but can't relax yet as a defeat at home to Spartans today would see them miss out on a place in the knockout stages.

League Two Spartans caused a shock by beating Championship side Queen's Park and also saw off Highland League Brechin to take their tally to six points.

But it would be a surprise if they won on the road against Premiership new boys Falkirk, who have amassed eight points so far.

BoyleSports make the Bairns 2/9 favourites but you can boost the odds to 11/10 once more by backing the home win to nil. That looks good value as Falkirk have conceded just one goal in the group so far.

John McGlynn's side also smashed seven past Brechin and netted three times against Queen's Park so we should see a few goals. Over 1.5 first-half strikes looks worth a punt at 21/20 with BoyleSports.

Ross County vs Partick Thistle

There's a Group B decider today as Partick Thistle head north to Dingwall looking to keep their noses in front of Ross County.

The Jags have a perfect record so far, racking up three successive wins under new boss Mark Wilson, but County can jump above them with a home win this afternoon.

The Staggies sit on seven points and head into this game on a high after scoring eight goals against Edinburgh City in midweek.

Thistle have also netted eight times across their three games so it bodes well for a few goals in Dingwall.

BTTS pays just 4/9 at BoyleSports and adding on over 2.5 goals only takes you to 4/5. But there's more value in over 1.5 first-half goals at 5/4 while the half-time stalemate also looks good at 5/4.
