Competition: League Cup
Market: Motherwell win
Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their League Cup romp on Tuesday night, Motherwell will welcome Morton to Fir Park.
Starting with the hosts, opening their League Cup adventure with a nail-bitting penalties victory against Clyde on July 12th, Motherwell have enjoyed a real flurry since opening proceedings this month. Last seen over the weekend snatching what was a gritty 1-0 win away at Stenhousemuir, Jens Berthel Askou̢۪s men have put eight points on the board from their first three Group G appearances. Signing off their summer preparations with a 1-0 victory against Carlisle, the mood around Fir Park should be at a real high. Despite settling for a bottom-half finish among Scotland̢۪s elite last season, Motherwell did sign off the 2024/25 campaign in the midst of a real flurry. Including a routine 3-0 romp at home against Kilmarnock on May 14th, Tuesday̢۪s hosts have lost just one of their previous nine competitive appearances across all competitions. Likewise, continuing on from last season, Askou̢۪s side have won their last three straight matchups on home soil by an aggregate score of 8-3.
As for the visitors, while Morton might travel to Fir Park on Tuesday night pencilled in as a real underdog contender, Dougie Imrie̢۪s side have enjoyed their own impressive start to proceedings. Last seen cruising their way to a 3-0 victory at home against Stenhousemuir, the Greenock-based outfit have won their first two Group G appearances. However, despite setting their sights on booking a knockout stage ticket this year, the midweek guests will be concerned by a nightmare record in North Lanarkshire. Including a 2-1 loss when they last travelled to Motherwell for a Scottish Cup showdown back in January 2022, they have lost all of their six historic trips to the Premiership outfit. Likewise, despite being last seen on their travels claiming an action-packed 4-2 victory against Peterhead, Morton have failed to register consecutive away wins across any competition since way back in February 2024.
Bet: Motherwell 7/10 to beat Morton in Tuesday’s Scottish League Cup matchup @ 1xBet
