After delivering a winning selection in each of his last four featured columns, SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of Motherwell and Hibernian's make-or-break Scottish Premiership top-six showdown at Fir Park on Saturday.
Motherwell vs Hibernian (Saturday, 15:00)
Motherwell and Hibernian face off at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon in a fixture that will have big implications on the race for a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership.
Stuart Kettlewell’s men remain in the mix to end up in the top-half of the table after staging a dramatic late comeback to down Dundee 3-2 at Dens Park last Saturday.
As for Hibs, their top-six hopes were dealt a damaging blow when succumbing to a shock 2-1 defeat at home to St Johnstone last weekend.
That has set up a huge shootout between these two sides on Saturday, and with all the necessary ingredients appearing to be in place for an action-packed contest, I've identified a Bet Builder that holds plenty of appeal.
Combining Over 1.5 Goals, Each Team to Hit 3+ Corners and 30+ Booking points will bring about an appetising 11/0 (SkyBet) play.
Goals have been a regular feature in Motherwell matches this season, with 26 of their 32 Scottish Premiership matches producing a minimum of two match strikes, a sample that includes 14 of their 16 home games.
Visitors Hibernian have an identical hit rate, with 26 of their 32 Scottish top-flight fixtures this term also featuring at least two goals, including each of their last 13.
With that in mind, as well as a stalemate not suiting either side here, I’m happy to side with two or more match goals at Fir Park on Saturday
For the second leg of the Bet Builder, I’ll go with each side to earn a minimum of three corners in what should be quite an open affair.
Whilst Motherwell are averaging just 4.53 corners per-game in the Scottish Premiership this season, they have racked up 3+ in 17 of their last 18 league games, with the only exception coming against Rangers at Ibrox.
Hibs, on the other hand, are averaging 5.16 flag-kicks per 90 this term, covering the 3+ line in 14 of their previous 15 top-flight assignments..
Given that we could see a fiery encounter as these two sides look to pip Dundee to a top-six berth, I’ll round off the 11/10 (SkyBet) Bet Builder with 30+ Booking points.
Motherwell are among the most ill-disciplined teams in the Scottish Premiership with their average of 2.34 yellows per-game this season, while Hibs tally comes in at 1.91, and both sides should keep referee Willie Collum busy on Saturday afternoon.
This particular Bet Builder would have proven profitable when the pair last crossed paths in January and that only adds to the appeal of getting on board with the same selection on Saturday at 11/10 on SkyBet.
