Today’s football betting tips turn attention to Scotland where the League Cup swings back into action.

It’s back to some domestic-based football now after all the thrills and spills of the European Championships have wound up.

We have a bumper selection of five tips for football betting today.

 

Best Football Betting Tips Today: Dumbarton v Stenhousemuir

Football betting tips today starts with a look at Dumbarton, who just about avoided relegation last season.

They finished second from bottom in League One, but survived the relegation playoffs, taking a 3-2 aggregate win in the Final over Edinburgh City from League Two.

Dumbarton posted a W5 D1 L5 record at home last season.

Their last four on home soil against Stenhousemuir have seen an even split of two wins each.

Stenhousemuir are a League Two side and they struggled at the end of last season, losing four of their last six games.

An away game here just works against them.

Dumbarton to win at 21/20

Football Betting Picks Today: Forfar v Montrose

Football betting for today looks at the away win for Montrose in this League Cup tie.

They have won their last two visits to Forfar, both of those coming by a 3-2 scoreline.

Montrose qualified for the promotion playoffs in last season’s League One.

But they fell in the semi-finals in a tight duel against Greenock Morton.

But it was a good solid season for them. Forfar finished bottom of League One last season picking up just four wins.

During last season’s campaign, they took one point from their two fixtures against Montrose.

That leaves them on a four-match winless streak against this opponent (D1 L3).

Montrose and Forfar met in August 2019 in the League Cup and Montrose banked the win.

Football Betting Tips for Today: St Mirren v Dunfermline

We look at what is likely to play out as a home win for St Mirren next for today’s football betting tips.

The Premiership side finished in midtable in the division, even though their form fell away at the end of the campaign.

It was only four home successes all season that the Saints took in the league.

On Tuesday they will meet Dunfermline who reached the promotion playoffs in the Championship.

They fell at the first hurdle against Raith Rovers in those playoffs so will be spending at least another season in the Championship.

Dunfermline have failed to score in three of their last four trips to St Mirren.

Because they also carried really poorly away form last season, we just have to stick with a home win, but probably a narrow one.

St Mirren to win to nil at 11/10

Football Betting Picks Today: Alloa v Cowdenbeath

Football betting for today looks at the decent chance for a home win in this League Cup tie.

Alloa didn’t have the greatest of seasons, it’s fair to say.

They finished bottom of the Championship and suffered relegation with only five wins recorded.

Cowdenbeath finished second from bottom in league Two last season. They collected just five wins along the way.

In their 22 fixtures, they tallied up just 15 goals, winning twice on the road.

They are W2 L2 on their last four visits to Alloa, but right now, last season’s form is all we have to go by.

The home win shades this.

Only because Cowdenbeath lost at home against Raith on the weekend in their League Cup group opener.

Alloa to win at 1/2

Football Betting Picks Today: Clyde v Stranraer

Football betting for today finishes up with this look at the Scottish League Cup with another home pick.

Clyde are odds-on here as they host a team from a tier lower than they are.

League One side Clyde finished third from bottom in their league campaign, putting a late flourish on to get safe.

They will hope for a comfortable start to this season’s League Cup.

It’s been nine goals that they have scored in their last two home games against Stranger.

Interestingly, Stranraer have been in action.

They hosted Morton on the weekend in their first group match of the League Cup.

It was a comfortable 3-0 success that they collected against Morton as well.

That was a huge boost for the League Two side against a team who were relegated from last season’s Championship.

With that extra bit of match sharpness, perhaps they could strike again.

Stranraer to win at 10/3
