SlipsTips’ Bet Builder Tips: Cards and corners the call in West Lothian

SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Livingston’s clash with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.

Livingston vs Rangers (Sunday, 15:00)

Livingston and Rangers will round off this weekend's Scottish Premiership action in West Lothian on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have taken just one point from their last four Scottish Premiership matches, most recently falling to a last-gasp 3-2 defeat away at Dundee.

As for Rangers, they are still searching for their first league win of the season after losing 2-0 at home to Hearts two weeks ago.

Over 1 Livingston Card

Given their disciplinary record during the early weeks of the season, I’m going to kick-off the Bet Builder with two or more Livingston cards. No team has collected more yellow cards than David Martindale’s hosts (20) at this stage of the Scottish Premiership season – a sizeable average of 3.33 per game.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that Livingston have collected two or more cautions in five of their six Scottish Premiership matches this season, including each of their previous two home games. On top of that, the Lions were shown four yellow cards when playing host to Hibs in the Premier Sports Cup last month.

Over 4 Rangers Corners

Given the high volume of corners that Rangers have been earning in this season’s Scottish Premiership, I’m more than happy to back the visitors to earn a minimum of five flag-kicks on Sunday afternoon. Russell Martin’s side have averaged a whopping 8.40 corners per 90 in this season’s Scottish Premiership, hitting five or more in each of their first five league games of the season.

Livingston, on the other hand, have conceded an average of 6.3 corners per game in this season’s Scottish top-flight, with each of the Lions’ last five opponents covering the 5+ flag kick line.

Goal Range 1-6

For the final selection of the Bet Builder, I’ll include the goal range to be between one and six. Goals have been in short supply in games involving Rangers in this season’s Scottish Premiership, with each of the Light Blues’ five matches featuring under 2.5 goals.

Given how adept Livingston are at digging in and keeping games tight, it’s difficult to envisage a high-scoring shootout in West Lothian this weekend. Each of Livingston’s last seven matches across all competitions have failed to break the over 6.5 goals barrier, with four of their last five assignments failing to produce four or more strikes.

Recommended Bet

• Over 1 Livingston Card
• Over 4 Rangers Corners
• Goal Range 1-6
• Bet Builder – 5/6 (Bet365)
