SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Livingston’s clash with Morton in the Scottish Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Livingston vs Morton (Saturday, 15:00)
Livingston will be looking to record back-to-back home wins in the Scottish Championship for only the second time this season when they host Greenock Morton on Saturday afternoon.
The Lions began the campaign among the bookmakers’ favourites to win the title and return to the top flight, but have struggled for consistency since dropping back into the second tier.
Under interim manager David Martindale, the hosts sit fifth and seven points off the summit after last week’s 1-1 draw away to Inverness.
Morton, meanwhile, have enjoyed a remarkable turnaround, winning their last four matches to climb off the bottom of the table.
That run makes Livingston unattractive short-priced favourites, so I’m turning to the anytime goalscorer market instead.
Robbie Muirhead is the player I’m keen to back to score at a value 20/21 with bet365.
The Livingston forward has been one of the standout performers in the Championship and comfortably leads the scoring charts with 10 goals in 14 appearances.
Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that seven of those goals have come in his last nine outings.
Notably, one of his 10 league strikes this term came against Morton in the reverse fixture back in mid-September.
Since then, Muirhead has made the net bulge in home games against Inverness and Ayr United, as well as bagging a brace away to Stenhousemuir.
Morton have conceded five goals despite winning their last two matches, a 3-2 win away to Partick Thistle and a 4-3 victory over Stenhousemuir.
That defensive fragility only adds to the appeal of backing Muirhead to notch, particularly as the in-form forward tends to be on penalties and is often among the candidates to take free kicks within shooting range.
