After churning out winners for us all week, SlipsTips shares two angles of attack ahead of Saturday's round of Scottish Premiership fixtures.
Aberdeen vs Hibernian (Saturday, 15:00)
Aberdeen will be looking to put an end to their barren run of form when they face Hibernian at Pittodrie on Saturday afternoon.
The Dons are enduring their worst start to a season in over a decade and that has prompted a lot of soul-searching from manager Stephen Glass on whom pressure is now mounting.
Hibs, on the other hand, have seen their strong start to the campaign slowed by back-to-back defeats, but the capital club will smell blood on Saturday.
But dipping into McBookie's number of cards market, it's the even-money (1/1) on Over 3.5 Match Cards that appeals in this Granite City dust-up.
Greg Aitken has been handed the whistle for this potentially feisty affair, with the Scottish referee flashing four or more cards in five of his overall seven league outings this season.
Hosts Aberdeen are averaging exactly two yellow cards per-game this season, while Jack Ross' guests are collecting an average of 1.78 per 90 minutes, a tally that increases to 2.5 when playing away from home.
What's more, seven of Aberdeen's opening nine Scottish Premiership fixtures have featured three or more cards, while Over 3.5 Cards has copped in three of the Hibees' four top-flight road trips this term.
With that in mind, the even-money (McBookie) on Over 3.5 Cards at Pittodrie on Saturday makes plenty of appeal.
Recommended Bet
- Over 3.5 Cards – 1/1 (McBookie)
Ross County vs Livingston (Saturday, 15:00)
Two of the bottom three teams in the Scottish Premiership lock on horns on Saturday afternoon, as Ross County welcome Livingston to the Global Energy Stadium.
The hosts are winless and rooted to the bottom of the pile having taken just three points from their opening nine games, while the Lions sit two places and one point above the relegation zone following their 3-0 victory at St Johnstone last time out.
This, however, looks like a really tricky fixture to call and given that both teams are in desperate need of points, 20+ Ross County Booking Points appears overpriced at 10/11 with SkyBet.
Both teams are bound to be right up for this one as they bid climb up the division and that should lead to a closely-fought contest between the pair in Dingwall on Saturday.
Malkay Mackay's men are averaging 23.33 booking points per-game this term, with 20+ Booking Points banking in seven of the struggling Staggies opening nine Scottish Premiership matches of the season.
Livingston are no angels themselves, with David Martindale's side accumulating more yellow cards than any other team in the Scottish top-flight at this stage, so we should see referee Euan Anderson kept busy.
The Scottish whistler is averaging 47.00 Booking Points per-game across all competitions this season, dishing out a minimum of 40+ Booking Points in eight of his last nine outings.
With all things considered, the 10/11 (SkyBet) about 20+ Ross County Booking Points looks like an attractive betting proposition in this early-season relegation six-pointer.
Recommended Bet
- Ross County 20+ Booking Points (10/11, SkyBet)
