Side With the Underdogs

Motherwell +2 at odds of 1.93 on the Asian Handicap look like a great bet against Celtic. We’ll benefit if the hosts win, draw or lose by a single goal, while there is money back if they lose by exactly two goals.

Motherwell have been beaten in back-to-back games. Away from home, they recently suffered a 2-1 loss against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. The Well had just 39% possession and recorded three shots on target, with Andrew Halliday getting the goal.
