SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Dundee's clash with Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night.
Dundee vs Motherwell (Wednesday, 19:45)
Seeking to continue their remarkable season, Motherwell travel to Dens Park to take on Dundee on Wednesday night in the Scottish Premiership.
Jens Berthel Askou’s side has been one of the success stories in the Scottish top-flight this term, with a 2-0 win over Livingston at the weekend leaving the Steelmen just five points behind Old Firm heavyweights Celtic and Rangers heading into the midweek round of fixtures.
Dundee, meanwhile, sit 9th in the table after halting a two-game losing run with a hard-fought 0-0 draw away at St Mirren on Saturday.
Having been on an upward curve for much of the campaign, it comes as little surprise to see Motherwell installed as general 17/20 favourites with most bookmakers here.
However, my focus is on a player-based selection that looks both appealing and good value at the odds on offer.
Tawanda Maswanhise can be backed at 4/5 with bet365 to either score or assist on Wednesday night, and that looks well worth supporting.
The Motherwell forward has been one of the Scottish Premiership’s standout performers this season, with his latest strike against Livingston at the weekend lifting him to the top of the league’s goalscoring charts.
Moreover, Maswanhise has now found the net in each of his last four top-flight appearances, while also chipping in with an assist during that run.
It is also worth noting that the Zimbabwe international netted in a recent Scottish Cup tie against Ross County, not to mention he struck four times during Motherwell’s Scottish League Cup campaign earlier in the season.
Those efforts take his overall tally to 18 goals for the campaign, one of which came against Dundee in his only previous appearance against the Dark Blues this term.
With that in mind, Maswanhise looks too big to ignore to register another goal involvement at Dens Park this midweek.
Dundee have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their 11 home league games this season, further strengthening the case for the in-form Motherwell forward to make his mark on Wednesday night.
