Rangers v Motherwell: Betting Tips
Rangers v Motherwell
Scottish Premier League
Kick off: Monday 2nd January 3pm
On paper this looks like yet another tricky one for Rangers but historically they’ve found Motherwell a soft-touch and this could be just what the Gers ordered after Wednesday’s defeat to Celtic.
A 17-point swing at the top of the SPL must have dented Rangers morale but how they respond, starting tomorrow, will determine whether they’ve a title challenge in them or not. 3 defeats in their last 6 make this a must-win, even at this stage of the season.
There will be plenty who fancy a bit of 10/1 (Chandler, Betfair) about a ‘Well win but they’d do well to check out how Motherwell normally fare against the Gers. Their last 8 meetings reads W0 D2 L6. If that’s not bad enough the goals for and against columns in the last 8 makes for embarrassing reading; Rangers 32 Motherwell 7. That should go some of the way to explaining the odds of just 4/11 (Paddy Power) on the home win.
For me though I simply couldn’t trust this Rangers side to carry my money at such short odds against a side that’s third in the table so I’m looking elsewhere for value.
Despite the recent hammering that Rangers have dished out to Motherwell (3-0, 5-0, 6-0, 4-1, 4-1) this one looks a whole lot closer. I think Rangers will win it but by just a single goal, which can be backed at 5/2 (Bet365)
Nikica Jelavic is apparently attracting some interest from the EPL but his form has dipped of late. If he is to move on Craig Whyte must be hoping the hitman can return to his best in order to boost any transfer fee. Many of his goals have come from the spot and that makes him even more appealing in the goalscorer markets. He’s 8/11 (Blue Sq) to net anytime but also represents a decent small-stake bet to bag the first at 13/5 with Bet365.
