Football – Scotland – Championship Betting Tips
Third placed Morton will be wanting to further consolidate their play-off position in the Scottish Championship this evening when they take on second from bottom club St Mirren at their Cappielow Park.
Morton come into this encounter though having gone four league matches without a win following defeats to Dunfermline and Dumbarton, although they did manage to hold Championship league leaders Hibernian to stalemates both home and away recently.
The hosts also possess a solid looking home record of 8-6-1 20/11 and they also hold the best defensive record at home in the division which includes five clean sheets to date. I’m therefore a little mystified at the generous prices on Morton here.
Visitors St Mirren sit second from bottom in the Championship but level on points with bottom team Ayr United ahead of their trip to Greenock on Tuesday night. However, St Mirren have put together a five-match unbeaten run which includes wins over Dundee United, Queen of the South and the aforementioned Ayr United.
This recent upturn in form has given The Saints a good chance of avoiding relegation as they’re now just two points adrift of Raith Rovers and four behind Dumbarton. However, an away record of 3-4-7 19/26 continues to let them down, and they could be up against it at Morton tonight.
In addition, just two clean sheets on their travels during this campaign to date should have St Mirren behind the eight-ball here.
Pick: Morton AH0 @ 1.57 Unibet
