SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of St Mirren's clash with Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday night.
St Mirren vs Aberdeen (Tuesday, 19:45)
St Mirren will be looking to make it back-to-back victories in the Scottish Premiership for the first time since October when they take on much-improved Aberdeen on Tuesday night.
I've already penned a separate match preview on this midweek meeting in Paisley but I've since identified a Bet Builder whereby I'm happy to follow a familiar theme.
Dipping into Sky Bet's corners market, it's the 5/6 (SkyBet.) about each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points that has caught my eye once more.
Though they may have been inconsistent this term, Jim Goodwin's hosts have proven prominent in the corner rankings, averaging 5.57 per-game – a tally only topped by Celtic, Rangers and Hearts.
Meanwhile, Aberdeen, who appear to have turned a corner in recent months, are earning 5.24 flagkicks per 90, with Stephen Glass's side covering the 3+ line in each of their last 10 top flight fixtures.
With that in mind, as well as both sides having a string of encouraging results behind them, I'm more than happy to back each team to deliver a minimum of three corners on Tuesday night.
With a closely-fought contest between two clubs in good shape anticipated, I'll complete the wager with each side to receive 10+ booking points.
St Mirren's card per-game average at this stage of the campaign sits at 1.90 per-game, while the Dons are posting 2.10, a tally that increases to a sizable 2.70 when playing away from their Pittodrie base.
Indeed, referee Grant Irvine has taken charge of just four Scottish Premiership games this season to date, but he has awarded both teams a booking in his last three outings, with two games from that sample seeing five and six match cards dished out respectively.
Therefore, with all things considered, coupled with the fact that the aforementioned combination clicked when St Mirren hosted Aberdeen in September, as well as banking in Buddies' home matches with Rangers, Hibernian and Celtic in recent months, the same play here stands out at 5/6 (SkyBet).
