Tuesday’s Football Tips: Hearts a Valuable Bet at 11/8 to Maintain League Cup Goal Streak – SCCG Management

Derek McInnes started his tenure as Hearts manager with a solid performance on Saturday. He aims for another victory in the League Cup group stage against Hamilton tonight.

The Jambos defeated Championship team Dunfermline 4-1 at Tynecastle in their opening match. The scoreline was a bit flattering, as the Pars were competitive until they conceded three goals in the last 15 minutes.

McInnes now leads his team to Broadwood to face Accies, and it would be surprising if they faltered against struggling club Hamilton.

Accies were relegated from the Championship last season after a points deduction due to financial issues. Their current situation reflects the turmoil at the club, as they are now playing at Broadwood instead of their stadium in Hamilton.

Manager John Rankin lost some key players over the summer but still managed a 2-0 win at Stirling Albion in the Group E opener.

Hearts represent a higher level of competition, and BoyleSports has made the Premiership team 3/10 favourites. Finding value is challenging, but backing the Jambos at -1 in the handicap seems promising at 20/21.

Despite not performing at their best on Saturday, McInnes’ squad scored four times. This illustrates their attacking strength, so over 2.5 Hearts goals also looks appealing at 11/8.

Forfar Athletic vs St Mirren

There were a couple of surprises on the opening weekend, and St Mirren disappointed with a draw in Arbroath after being tipped to win comfortably against Championship opponents.

The Buddies were expected to score several goals after impressive pre-season friendlies, but Stephen Robinson’s team didn’t manage a single shot on target.

The Paisley manager will demand an improved performance tonight in Forfar, and St Mirren should pose more of a threat against a team that finished second to last in League Two last season.

Backing the Buddies to be leading at both half-time and full-time seems like good value at 20/23 with BoyleSports, while they are priced at 7/4 to win both halves.

Motherwell vs Peterhead

Motherwell was another Premiership team that struggled in their opener, drawing 2-2 away against League Two Clyde.

That wasn’t the start new manager Jens Berthel Askou envisioned, but he should secure his first victory back on home soil against Peterhead.

The artificial pitch on Saturday may have contributed to Well’s difficulties, and executing Askou’s desired style of play should be easier on the grass at Fir Park.

League One Peterhead conceded four goals in their opener against Morton, so expecting more goals tonight seems the best strategy.

Over 3.5 match goals looks worth betting on at evens with BoyleSports, while over 1.5 first-half goals is the same price.
