Football – Scotland – Championship Betting Tips

Third placed Morton will be keen to take advantage of second placed Dundee United’s loss at Hibernian on Friday night, when they take on third from bottom club Dumbarton on Saturday afternoon.

Morton still remain unbeaten at their Cappielow Park so far this season with a record that stands at   5-4-0  12/6 and they’ve lost just once in their last 12 matches overall which was a 2-1 defeat at Dunfermline.

Back on home turf, Morton have registered recent wins over Ayr United, St Mirren and Queen of the South while the last time they played Dumbarton the result ended in a 1-1 draw. Midfielder Forbes (4 goals) and striker Oliver (5 goals) are Morton’s best bets for anytime goalscorer.

Visitors Dumbarton have struggled throughout the bulk of this campaign as they find themselves third from bottom in the Scottish Championship but they seem to have received a bit of an injection in terms of improvement in results, having lost just once in their last six matches overall.

Recent wins over Queen of the South, Falkirk and Dundee United have given them hope of avoiding relegation but despite these recent successes, they still remain just two points above second from bottom Ayr United.

Dumbarton’s away record stands at a below-par  2-2-5  14/18 and although they’ve recorded wins at St Mirren and Queen of the South recently, they’ve also suffered defeats at Dundee United and Hibernian, which suggests to me that they’ll struggle at Morton today.
