Correct Score Prediction

0
St Johnstone
Dundee can be backed to win 1-0 when it comes to the correct score. We’ll go for the +650 that this happens and hopefully we’ll get a good run for our money.
Player Prop Picks
Charlie Reilly (Dundee) can be backed at +170 to have at least one shot on goal. He looks like a value bet on the Shots on Target market and we recommend backing this player prop pick.
Drey Wright (Dundee) has racked up two goals in his past five Premiership games. When it comes to him finding the net, we believe the +575 available is appealing when backing him on the Anytime Goalscorer market.
