"The Buddies have scored in 8/9 away games under McManus and conceded in the same fraction"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.855/6 in Raith v St Mirren

Defences will be snookered as Allan McManus takes St Mirren to Raith Rovers tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

Raith v St Mirren
Wednesday 19:45


Same bet, same result in last night's Scottish Championship game. Dunfermline 1 Queen of the South 1 means we're 2/2 for the week. And if it ain't broke...

We're in Scotland again today for the bottom-of-the-table Championship clash between Raith Rovers and St Mirren. Since the latter returned to this level, this fixture has finished 1-1, 4-3 and, earlier this term, 3-1.

However, Gary Locke's hosts are seven without a win at Stark's Park and five without a clean sheet. Thank goodness they've scored in three of the last four there.

Visiting St Mirren start as favourites, despite sitting two places lower in the table than the home side. Allan McManus's men have recently gone W2-D2-L0 against teams ranked fifth and below, but it's the goals records we're more interested in.

The Buddies have scored in 8/9 away games under McManus and conceded in the same fraction. Seven of the nine have brought goals at both ends and that, once again, is our bet of the day.
