After delivering four winners from five selections on Saturday, SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Motherwell's Scottish Premiership encounter with Hearts on Sunday.
Motherwell vs Heart of Midlothian (Saturday, 12:00)
Sunday’s solitary fixture from the Scottish Premiership comes from Fir Park as Motherwell meet Heart of Midlothian at midday.
Interim Well boss Stuart Kettlewell steered the hosts to a much needed 2-1 win over St Mirren in midweek, while Hearts sealed their place in the last-eight of the Scottish Cup with a 2-0 win at Hamilton last weekend.
The visitors will attract plenty of attention from punters here at 13/10 and better, however, I’m Bet Builder bound once more, with Hearts to Score, Over Two Hearts Corners and 20+ Motherwell Booking Points at even-money (SkyBet) looking enticing.
Robbie Neilson’s side are firmly in the driving seat to finish best of the rest in the Scottish top-flight, and that is reflected by the fact they are the league’s top scorers outside of the Old Firm, netting at least once in 16 of their last 18 matches across all competitions.
While Motherwell will come into this match feeling a bit upbeat following their aforementioned win over St Mirren, their only clean sheet in all competitions since October came against Championship strugglers Arbroath.
I’m therefore happy to back high-flying Hearts to strike on Sunday, but to bump up the price, I’ll also go with the capital club to clock up three corners.
The Jambos are averaging a shade under five flag kicks per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season, covering the 3+ line in 12 of their last 13 league outings.
With Motherwell undoubtedly being in greater need of the points, I’ll complete the selection with a minimum of 20+ Booking Points for the home team – something the Steelmen have seen in a lofty 22 of their overall 25 leagues this season to date.
In fact, this Bet Builder would have paid out in four of the hosts’ last five league games, as it did the last time these two teams last crossed paths, further highlighting the appeal of supporting the same even-money (SkyBet) formula at Fir Park on Sunday.
