Friday 6th January 2017 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – Scotland – Championship Betting Tips
It’s top versus second in the Scottish Championship on Friday night with what should be an absolute cracker with the top two teams fighting it out for supremacy in the Scottish second tier.
Hibernian hold a slender one point margin over their visitors Dundee United, and recent form has been good from the home side as they head into this clash on the back of a four-match unbeaten run which includes wins over Dumbarton at home and an away win at Falkirk.
Hibs also possess a pretty strong record on home turf with stats of 5-3-1 18/6 and they’re unbeaten in their last six matches at home. 5 of their 9 home matches have seen both teams score, and this could well be the case again this evening.
Visitors Dundee United can wrestle the leadership of the Championship off their opponents if they manage a win here this evening, and they’ll certainly be keen to produce a better showing than last time out when they fell to a 1-0 defeat away at Dumbarton.
However, there is no greater incentive for them to do well this evening as they can take over at the top, while Dundee’s away record stands at a slightly disappointing 4-3-3 12/8. Prior to the loss at Dumbarton, Dundee United had put together an unbeaten run on the road which extended to six matches on their travels, so they know they are capable of getting something out of this encounter tonight.
Dundee have a scoring rate of 60% away from home, but having lost their last match and wanting to keep the pace with Hibernian, I can see them hitting the back of the net in this clash.
Pick: Both teams to score @ 1.91 Comeon
