Both Dundee FC and Clyde harbour hopes of progressing from their League Cup group, but neither side leads the way in Group D.
Ross County sit top of the pile on eight points, with Dundee on seven and Clyde on six. With the four best second-placed sides also progressing to the next round, this is a must-win game for both teams.
However, League Two Clyde could be up against it in this trip to Premiership opposition. The hosts have a couple of heavy wins under their belt already this summer, and they are backed to secure maximum points in a late bid for top spot.
Dundee v Clyde Tips Summary
Best Bet - Over 2.5 Dundee goals @ 4/6
Alternative Bet - Dundee to win 4-1 @ 14/1
Bet Builder - Dundee to win, both teams to score, most goals in 2nd half @ 4/1
Dundee v Clyde Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 Dundee goals @ 4/6
Dundee drew 1-1 at Ross County on Tuesday, and they lost the bonus-point penalty shoot-out that followed. That has put Dundee in a difficult spot heading into their final group game, but their strong early results suggest they can ease to another win.
The Dark Blues opened their League Cup campaign with a 4-2 win over Airdrie and a 5-0 victory at Annan Athletic. They dominated both of those contests in terms of chances, and it’s hard to see them letting up against League Two opposition if they get out in front.
Clyde won both of their home matches, but they were beaten comfortably at Ross County, losing 3-1. They conceded a massive 13 shots on target over the course of that game, so that scoreline arguably flattered the visitors.
Clyde finished last year’s League Cup campaign in third, winning twice and losing twice, including a 3-0 defeat to second-placed Greenock Morton. They look set for more of the same, and Dundee can score a few goals on their way to securing a top-two finish.
Alternative Bet: Dundee to win 4-1 @ 14/1
Both teams have scored in five of Clyde’s last six matches, dating back to the League Two playoffs in May. The visitors have scored in each of their last seven competitive matches, and they can get on the scoresheet in a defeat on Saturday.
After winning their opening two matches in comprehensive fashion, Dundee should look to put some distance between themselves and Clyde to give themselves the best chance of making the next round.
The hosts scored at least four times in their first two victories, while they’ve struggled for clean sheets dating back to last season.
The hosts are good value to run out 4-1 winners on Saturday, which can be backed at 14/1.
Dundee v Clyde Bet Builder Tip
- Dundee to win
- Both teams to score
- Highest scoring half - 2nd
Pays 4/1
Dundee are heavy favourites to secure a victory this weekend, and they could use a return to winning ways. The Dark Blues lost 4-0 to Everton in a friendly clash last weekend, before drawing at Ross County. With a more straightforward game in prospect, back them to claim all three points.
Clyde’s good scoring record suggests they can find their way on the scoresheet, and they could play their part in a high-scoring second half.
Dundee’s two high-scoring victories saw plenty of goals saved for after half-time. Three of their four goals against Airdrie came after the break, while they went into half-time goalless with Annan before scoring five second-half goals.
Dundee could ramp things up after half-time once again, so back most of the goals to be scored in the second half to complete this 4/1 Bet Builder.
