SPL Team News & Thoughts 28th Jan

Aberdeen v Dunfermline

Aberdeen

Injuries - Milsom, Osbourne, Pawlett

Available Squad - Brown, Considine, McArdle, Reynolds, Robertson, Clark, Arnason, Jack, Fyvie, Vernon, Megginson, Chalali, Fallon, Langfield, Paton, Magennis, Mackie, Masson, Hughes

Probable XI : Brown, Jack, McArdle, Reynolds, Robertson, Megginson, Fyvie, Arnason, Clark, Vernon, Fallom (4-4-2)

Dunfermline

Injuries - Barrowman, Burns, Gallacher, Phinn, Bell, McDougall

Probable XI : Turner, Dowie, Ritkiewicz, Keddie, Boyle, Cardle, Mason, Kerr, Hardie, Buchanan, Kirk (4-4-2)


Prediction :  Aberdeen 1-0 Dunfermline

For me Barrowman being injured for Dunfie is a big problem, I always liked Kirk when he was at Hearts but Barrowman led the line well. Not whatt Dunfermline needed him being out. Happy to back a home win here best odds at 1.62 (various)

Inverness v St Mirren

Inverness

Injuries - Golobart, A. Shinnie

Available Squad - Tuffey, Piermayr, Tokely, Williams, Gillet, Proctor, Hayes, Tansey, Foran, Tade, G Shinnie, McKay, Ross, Esson, Meekings, Morrison, Sutherland, Winnall

Probable XI :Esson, Proctor, Gillet, Williams, Meekings, Hayes, Tansey, Ross, Foran, Tade, Sutherland (4-4-1-1)

St Mirren

Injuries - McLean, Goodwin

Available Squad - Samson, van Zanten, McAusland, Mair, Tesselaar, Barron, Mooy, Carey, Teale, McGowan, Imrie, Thompson, Smith, Thomson, Murray, Hasselbaink, Reilly, Naismith

Probable XI : Samson, Van Zanten, Mair, McAusland, Tesselaar, Carey, Barron, McGowan, Imrie, Thompson, Hasselbaink (4-4-2)


Prediction :  Inverness 1-1 St Mirren

Pretty much a tricky call here. Inverness have brought in Winnall from Wolves so he might feature from the bench. I'll stick with a score draw so BTS might be the angle but NO BET for me.

Motherwell v St Johnstone


Motherwell

Injuries - Saunders
Suspended - Higdon, Craigan
Available Squad - Randolph, Hateley, Hammell, Hutchinson, Lasley, Law, Daley, Murphy, Humphrey, Forbes, Page, McHugh, Clancy, Bradley, Pollock, Ojamaa, Jennings, Carswell

St Johnstone

Probable XI : Enckelman, McKay, Anderson, McCracken, C. Davidson, Croft, Morris, M. davidson, Craig, Sandaza, Sheridan (4-4-2)


Prediction :  Motherwell 2 - 1 St Johnstone

This should be a cracking match up. Motherwell with a good win midweek against Dunfermline and new loanee Ojamaa by all accounts adding a bit of sparkle to them upfront. I don't see Motherwell missing Higdon upfront too much and will go for another (not so rare) home win for the well! Dont get me wrong after originally hating St Johnstone I am now kind of warming to them as they do play some good ball. But I think Motherwell are the better team with the better manager and this is a crucial game for 3rd place that I think they'll win. Home win @ 2.3 (William Hills)

Rangers v Hibs
Rangers

Injuries - Jelavic, Broadfoot, Naismith, Lafferty, Ness, Whittaker

Available Squad - McGregor, Papac, Bocanegra, Wallace, Kerkar, Goian, Bartley, Davis, Aluko, Edu, Healy, Wylde, McCulloch, Ortiz, Alexander, Bedoya, McCabe, Celik

Injuries - Murray
Suspended - Griffiths, O'Connor

Available Squad - Stack, Hart, Francomb, Towell, Hanlon, Stephens, Booth, Sproule, Wotherspoon, Stevenson, Soares, McPake, Scott, Osbourne, Welsh, Brown, Doyle, Stanton, Smith

Probable XI : stack, Hart, O'Hanlon, Stephens, Booth, Towell, Francomb, Osborne, Stevenson, Sproule, Doyle,


Prediction :  Rangers 2-0 Hibs

Ian - after reviewing the teams and the fact that Hibs are missing O'Conner and Griffths up front, yes now I think you are right and the -1.5 asian handicap can be covered @ 1.82 (188BET) , only problem for Rangers is it looks like Jelavic is not going to play (probably because he is just about to be sold (cynical...) so it is going to have to come from midfield, the goals that is. I think Rangers will let the b(h)oy Celik get a game upfront and if you have been listening to the guy all week he is very confident he is going to make an impact. I'll have Celik anytime scorer @ 2.6 (bet365) and Rangers clean sheet @ about 1.8
