SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Dundee’s clash with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership on Thursday night.
Dundee vs Rangers (Thursday, 20:00)
Dundee and Rangers will do battle in the Scottish Premiership at Dens Park on Thursday night.
After securing a 3-1 win away at St Johnstone on Sunday, eighth in the table Dundee would move up into the top-six should they topple the Teddy Bears this midweek.
As for Rangers, they will look to tighten their hold on second spot after spilling more points on their travels last time out, with their humdinger at Hibernian on Sunday ending three apiece.
Rangers’ ropey road record this season makes them difficult to trust at odds-on quotes this midweek and I’m therefore going to highlight an alternative offering in the team corners market.
Dundee have been priced up at 11/10 on Bet 365 to earn four or more corners on Thursday night and those odds hold plenty of appeal.
The Dark Blues have been middle-of-the-range corner takers in the Scottish Premiership this season, averaging in the region of five flag-kicks per-game, with that tally marginally moving up to 5.20 on their own patch.
In fact, Tony Docherty’s team have clocked up a corner count of at least four in six of their last seven top-flight outings, hitting five or more in each of their previous four fixtures.
Drill deeper and it can be seen that Dundee have covered the proposed 4+ corner line in a sizeable 16 of their 21 Scottish Premiership matches this season.
Thus, the home team look well worthy of support to repeat the trick when they come up against what is a travel-sick and injury-ravaged Rangers side on Thursday night.
Moreover, Philippe Clement’s side are conceding an average of 4.50 corners per-90 whilst on Scottish top-flight duty this term.
That average has been on the rise of late, with Rangers’ backline having to defend 10 corners at Hibs last time out, while the likes of St Mirren and Ross County totted up a healthy flag-kick return of seven and eight respectively during their recent home games with the Light Blues.
With all that in mind, the 11/10 (Bet 365) on offer for Dundee to deliver four or more corners here is a price that definitely represents value.
