FURTHER proof that the Championship will be tighter than ever arrived last weekend with no team able to preserve a 100 per cent record after two games.
Two of the matches ended in draws while the other three were all decided by one-goal margins.
That makes the four clashes today pretty tough to call but it looks like thrills will be guaranteed with Queen’s Park this term.
Both teams to score has landed in all six of their league and cup games so far, with 24 goals flying in across those matches.
They now host a Partick side who have also been good value for goals, with BTTS trapping in five of their matches.
That’s why backing both to score is odds-on today but it’s still worth a bet at 10/11 with William Hill.
Over 2.5 goals also stands a good chance and that’s 6/5 at the same firm.
Inverness have started with two draws and need to turn those stalemates into some victories.
They host Cove today and Caley Thistle look decent value at 23/20 (Betway), especially with the League One champions losing at Morton last weekend.
It ended 1-1 when these sides faced each other in the League Cup groups so BTTS also appeals at evens with William Hill.
Hamilton have drawn their last three matches 1-1 and travel to an Ayr side buoyed by their rousing comeback win over Queen’s Park last Friday.
Another stalemate pays 11/5 with McBookie but it might be safer backing the half-time draw and that’s 21/20 at Betway.
Dipo Akinyemi netted a double for Ayr last time out and he’s 7/4 at McBookie for another goal.
New Raith boss Ian Murray desperately needs a win at home to Morton today, with Rovers losing their last three.
They haven’t scored in their last four while Ton have netted just six times in their six games so far.
That suggests this won’t be a thriller and betting against BTTS pays 10/11 at BetVictor.
The half-time draw is another good option and it’s a best 21/20 with Betway.
Betting against Peterhead backfired for me in League One last week as they came from 2-0 down to draw at Clyde. But the Bully Wee played the last 30 minutes with 10 men so I’m going against the Blues again.
They visit a Falkirk side who were battered 4-0 by Airdrie but I fancy the Bairns to be winning at half-time and full-time which pays 15/8 at SBK.
Bonnyrigg have flown out the traps in League Two so I like the 13/8 on offer at McBookie for Rose to chalk up another three points away to Stranraer today.
- Super singles: Over 2.5 goals at Q Park (6/5, W Hill).
- Half-time draw at Raith (21/20, Betway).
- Falkirk HT-FT (15/8, SBK)
- Deadly double: Inverness and Bonnyrigg (416/100, Betway).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining the half-time draw with under 3.5 goals at Ayr pays 104/100.
