MONDAY'S are always busy days with SPFL reserve and English u23 development games (No Belgian games today sadly). Its the SPFL i'll be focusing on and a team who did the business for us last time out
Motherwell Reserves v Dundee United Reserves (KO 2pm)
It's been a terrific campaign for Motherwell so far – played 10 – W8 D1 L1
They've won 5 on the spin which included 5-1 and 6-1 hammerings of Dunfermline and St Johnstone with the latter their last match as they tore us to shreds.
They must enjoy playing at Stirling Albions Forthbank as they have won all 5 matches played there this season and they welcome a United side who have become the leagues whipping boys having conceded 22 goals in just 7 league matches this season.
Their last 5 games have seen 6 / 7 / 7 /6 /5 goals scored and with them up against a rampant Motherwell side today, you have to fear that their goals against column will be added to.(currently averaging 4.9 goals per match)
They have scored though in their last 9 matches and that should support the goals count today.
Motherwell I'd expect will continue their fantastic run of results with plenty of goals in todays match from both sides.
Bet365 have been offering extensive markets inplay for these games this season so keep an eye for Motherwell team goals if it appears
Recommended Bet
- Over 3.5 Match goals
- 1/1 (Skybet) (NAP)
- Over 1.5 First Half Goals
- Price will appear inplay

Valenciennes v Metz (KO 7.45pm)
High flying Metz will be looking to tighten their grip at the top of Ligue 2 as they travel to lowly Valenciennes
They have conceded though in 8 of their last 10 away matches and whilst id expect them to win this, the hosts will make it tough.
Valenciennes have seen both sides score in 5 of their last 6 home games and it takes a brave man to back an away side in this league.
I'm taking both sides to score here
Recommended Bet
- Both teams to score
- 10/11 (Ladbrokes)
Great write up as usual on the reserves, Greg; was going to look at the recent results and League(s) covering all games, so may add something on the main mr f board👍
