SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Monday's massive Scottish Premiership play-off final second leg between Kilmarnock and Dundee
Kilmarnock vs Dundee (Monday, 19:45)
Dundee hold a 2-1 aggregate lead over Kilmarnock ahead of the Scottish Premiership play-off final second leg from Rugby Park on Monday night.
The Dark Blues will be disappointed to not be out of sight after they dominated their top-tier opponents at a damp and windswept Dens Park on Thursday.
However, Brandon Haunstrup's late goal has given Killie a lifeline as they aim to preserve the top-flight status they have held for 28 years.
Tommy Wright's troops finished the regular season by going seven home games without defeat inside 90 minutes and they will be roared on by 500 supporters at Rugby Park on Monday night.
Whether or not Killie get the win they need remains to be seen and I'm going to swerve the match result market and head to Bet 365‘s Bet Builder.
If we combine over zero Kilmarnock goals, over two Kilmarnock corners and over two match cards we will be presented with a backable 4/5 play.
Kilmarnock will have to throw caution to the wind at some point on Monday night and I fancy the hosts to hit the back of the net at least once here.
Killie have scored in 7/8 home matches under Tommy Wright's tutelage, not to mention the Ayrshire outfit have notched in 11 of their last 12 outings across all competitions,
In order to nudge up the price, I'll throw over two Kilmarnock corners into the mix – the hosts were averaging 5.68 corners per home game during the regular season and they have hit three or more flag kicks in each of their 15 matches since Wright took the reins.
Given the immense pressure that will be on both sides, coupled with the fact that fans will be in attendance, I'll complete the Bet Builder with over two match cards.
Experienced Premiership referee Bobby Madden has been selected to take charge of this huge second leg leg showdown, with the Scottish whistler flashing three or more cards in five of the last eight fixtures that he has taken charge of.
It's also worth noting that the above-mentioned combination clicked during the first leg and that only adds to the appeal of supporting the same formula here as the play-off final reaches its dramatic climax.
