SlipsTips shares a selection from Motherwell’s meeting with Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.
Motherwell vs Ross County (Saturday, 15:00)
Motherwell will be looking to continue their storming end to the Scottish Premiership season when they face Ross County at Fir Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Steelmen have demonstrated significant improvement since Stuart Kettlewell took the reins in February, losing just twice across their last 11 league games as they aim to finish top of the pile in the bottom six.
As for 11th-placed Ross County, their bid for survival received a major shot in the arm last time out as they were able to overcome relegation rivals Dundee United 3-1 at Tannadice.
That being said, Motherwell will attract plenty of attention from punters here as general 11/10 chances, however I’m going to bypass the outright betting and I’m instead head to the goalscorer market.
It would be fair to say that the goalscoring form of Kevin van Veen has been the main catalyst for Motherwell’s resurgence and the Well talisman looks an attractive option to strike on Saturday at 11/8 (UniBet).
The prolific Dutchman has been playing at the peak of his powers in recent months and that is evidenced by the fact that he etched his name into the history books by becoming the first Motherwell player for 86 years to score in eight consecutive games during last week’s 2-0 win at St Johnstone.
That latest strike also keeps van Veen firmly locked in the race to be the Scottish Premiership’s top scorer as he competes with Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi and Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland for the prestigious Golden Boot prize.
What’s more, the Motherwell goal machine has been the scourge of Ross County’s defence this season, having already stuck five past the Staggies, including a hat-trick when the duo met in Dingwall back in October.
While Malky Mackay’s men are undoubtedly in greater need of the points here, Motherwell are still looking fully motivated, not to mention Ross County have kept just three clean sheets across their last 12 league games.
Taking all of this into account, coupled with the fact that van Veen should be on spot kick duty, backing the deadly Dutchman to continue his hot-streak in front of goal on Saturday stands out at 11/8 (UniBet).
