After delivering a winning selection in last Sunday’s Old Firm derby, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Partick Thistle’s clash with Raith Rovers in the Scottish Championship on Friday night.
Partick Thistle vs Raith Rovers (Friday, 19:45)
The latest round of Scottish Championship fixtures kicks off with Partick Thistle playing host to Raith Rovers on Friday night.
Thistle come into this showdown hoping to tighten their hold on fourth spot following a pair of impressive 2-0 wins over both Queen’s Park and Ayr United respectively.
As for Raith, they remain on the outskirts of the playoff fight following a comfortable 2-0 win over Fife rivals Dunfermline last Friday night.
Partick are the bookmakers understandable favourites for this clash, however I’m happy to instead highlight a goals-based offering that catches the eye.
The Asian goal line has been set at 2.0 at Firhill on Friday night and the overs option looks too big to ignore at 17/20 on Bet 365.
This selection would deliver a full pay out if this clash features three or more goals, whereas if there are exactly two goals then stakes are returned.
The hosts’ outings have proven particularly eye-catching from a goals perspective in recent months, with eight of their last 12 Scottish Championship matches generating three or more strikes.
What’s more, a sizeable 21 of Thistle’s 29 league games this season have broken the over 1.5 goal barrier.
Similarly, 21 of Raith Rovers' 28 second tier tussles this term have yielded a minimum of two match goals.
Moreover, nine of the Kirkcaldy outfit’s last 15 Scottish Championship encounters would have delivered a winning over 2.5 goals selection.
It’s also worth noting that the most recent meeting between the pair a little over one month ago produced exactly three strikes.
With all that in mind, the aforementioned Asian goal line being set at 2.0 offers a great opportunity to back a high-scoring game with a touch of insurance at Firhill on Friday night.
