Division III - Elgin City v Cowdenbeath

Lets get the weekend picks under way with a look at the real lower reaches of Scottish league football and a top Vs bottom clash.

Elgin City Vs Cowdenbeath

The 2rd Division title looks to be a 2 horse race at the moment between Stenhousemuir and Cowdenbeath with the pair clear at the top (Dumbarton do have a couple of games in hand though). Cowdenbeath are currently in there best run of the season having chalked up 5 wins on the trot, that maximum of 15 points has seen them go top of the table and they will be keen to consolidate that position after this match. Cowdenbeath have already recorded 2 victories over Elgin this season, 2-0 away and more recently 4-1 at home. With 6 wins from 9 on the road Cowdenbeath are more than happy on there travels and a 7th win looks on the cards here.

Elgin are leaderless at the moment, without a manager and during the week captain David Hind ask and was allowed to walk away from the club, its not ideal preperation for a side than is already in trouble this season. Elgin are 12 points adrift at the bottom of the table and are on a run of 7 straight defeats. Its a sorry state of affairs and should become 8 defeats come 4.45pm

Cowdenbeath have managed to score in the opening half in all 5 recent victories and Elgin have conceded a first half goal in the last 4 matches, so it looks as though Cowdenbeath have every chance of leading come HT. Top Vs Bottom, Form Vs Lack Of this points to a comfortable away win and at 1.45 is bound to attract plenty of interest. I fancy Cowdenbeath to win and win well and am more than happy to take the HT/FT at a decent 2.20 with Paddypower. I can resist a few juicy correct scores either like:

1pt Cowdenbeath to win 4-0 @23.0 with Bluesq

1pt Cowdenbeath to win 5-0 @51.0 with Bet365

1pt Cowdenbeath to win 6-0 @126.0 with Sportingbet

6pts Cowdenbeath HT/FT with Paddypower.

As i said above it looks like an easy away win and some of you might prefer the 1.45 on a straight away if you wanna play things a bit safer.



Pick : HT/FT 2/2
Odds : 2.20
Stake : 9 / 10
