St Johnstone await the winners of tonight’s clash at Gayfield where Arbroath and Inverness Caledonian Thistle are vying for a place in the play-off final and ultimately promotion to the Scottish top flight.
Inverness finished the season strongly with just one defeat in their last 11 but they couldn’t break through against Arbroath in the first leg, the second stalemate between the sides this season. In fact there’s seldom been many scored when the teams have met recently.
Five of the last six meetings have seen either just one or no goals scored. The exception was a 3-0 home win for Caley back in March but other than that there’s been very little between the sides when they’ve met.
Tonight’s match looks like another close encounter could be on the cards. The bookies favour Arbroath at 7/5 while the visitors are 21/10. A draw would take it to extra-time and that can’t be ruled out at 21/10.
A goal-less first half pays 11/8 but on the Asian Line you can back Under 0.5, 1.0 at a shade over evens (2.025), meaning you’ll get half your stake back in if there’s one goal.
In the Championship, Huddersfield finished like a train to finish 3rd in the table and set up a play-off semi-final with Luton Town. The first leg takes place at Kenilworth Road tonight and there could be a bit of value with the Terriers at 9/4 based on current form.
A depleted Hatters side were on the end of a hammering to Fulham but bounced back with a win over Reading to end their league campaign. They’re outsiders of the four to make it to the Premier League at 9/2.
Huddersfield have all the momentum, just at the right time of the season and look worth a punt at 6/5 on the draw no bet market.
