Saturday Scottish League Cup
Hibernian vs Greenock Morton
Advice: OVER 2.75 Goals at 1.85 Pinnacle (1.72+)
Stake: 4 Units
This is another bet I really like this afternoon and I have to say I am surprised by the line on offer. Looking at results for Morton in their games so far this season, they have been full of goals. There have been at least 4 goals in all of their last 7 games and that includes the league cup group matches which have brought them here today. I watched them against Ayr a few weeks ago as they lost 4-2 in the season opener and defensively they were all over the place. They followed that up with a 4-1 win against Alloa last weekend which was a huge improvement but again, they do look shaky at the back as does goalkeeper Sam Ramsbottom and he is already a big concern for a few Morton fans I know. I don't think they will come here to sit back this afternoon. If they do that, they know they will be picked off sooner or later with the attacking threat Hibs pose. They will also know Hibs defence is there for the taking having conceded 6 goals at Ibrox last weekend against Rangers. The left back area remains a problem for Hibs and I do think they are vulnerable down the flanks as Rangers proved time and time again last weekend. Middle to front, they are capable of ripping lower league sides apart and they have added to their attacking threat by signing Glenn Middleton on loan from Rangers. In Scott Allan they have one of the best playmakers in the country on his day and they will create chances this afternoon. Defensively, I am not confident enough about them to keep a clean sheet though and that is why I am really keen on this line this afternoon. 4 units on Over 2.75 at 1.85 with value at 1.72+.
