SPL Tue 27th Nov Team News & Thoughts

Aberdeen v Inverness


Aberdeen

Injuries - Robertson, Fraser, Rae, Naysmith, Hughes, Jack, Milsom, Osborne

Probable XI - Langfield, Reynolds, Anderson, Considine, Magennis, Masson, Clark, McGinn, Hayes, Vernon, Fallon (4-4-2)


Inverness

Injuries - Ross, King, Hogg

Probable XI - Reguero, Raven, Warren, Meekings, G. Sinnie, Tudur-Jones, Foran, Doran, A.Shinnie, Sutherland, McKay (4-4-2)


Prediction : Aberdeen 1-1 Inverness


Inverness have been very good on the road this season and it would not overly surprise me if they actually won this match as Aberdeen are starting to get severely hampered with injuries. Inverness have been banging in the goals but also conceeding loads and this must be the main reason for the odds remaining reasonable on under 2.5 goals. But I like the fact that Aberdeen have the 2nd best defensive record in the league only letting in 14 goals all season and only 6 at home. For this reason I'm going for UNDER 2.5 Goals @ 1.91 (Bwin)

Dundee Utd v Motherwell


Dundee Utd

Injuries - Mackay-Steven, Vignal

Probable XI - Cierzniak, McLean, Dillon, Gunning, Douglas, Flood, Armstrong, Rankin, Skacel, Daly, Russell (4-4-2)

Motherwell

Injuries - Saunders

Probable XI - Randolph, Hateley, Hutchison, Cummins, Hammell, Murphy, Lasley, Law, Humphrey, Ojamma, Higdon (4-4-2)


Prediction : Dundee Utd 1-1 Motherwell

Quite amazingly Motherwell have already had 11 matches this season where they have failed to find the net. Put basically this is where they have have a problem, Higdon has just not been firing this season and they just dont have any other consistant finisher. However the style these 2 teams play suggests to me that there will actually be goals in this match but I dont think it will go over 2.5, the last 4 matches between the 2 have stayed under. Take UNDER 2.5 gaols @ 1.95 (Bet365)

Ross County v St Mirren


Ross County

Injuries - Scott

Probable XI - Fraser, Kovacevic, Boyd, Munro, Tokeley, Brittain, Kettlewell, Fotheringham, Vigurs, Quinn, Morrow (4-4-1-1)


St Mirren

Injuries - McGowan, McGregor

Probable XI - Samson, Van Zanten, Mair, McAusland, Dummett, Goodwin, Teale, McLean, Imrie, Thompson, Guy (4-4-2)


Prediction : Ross County 1-1 St Mirren


St Mirren stopped the rot at the weekend with a important win over Dundee which was their first win in 8 matches.  Hopefully this gives them some much needed confidence and now that they have Guy back fit I think they are a much bigger goal threat upfront. County normally find the net at home so both teams to score really appeals to me here. BTTS @ 1.73 (Stan James)
