SlipsTips: Edinburgh City vs Clyde

After delivering a winning selection on Tuesday night, SlipsTips shares a play-by-play from Wednesday’s solitary game in the Scottish League Cup.

Edinburgh City vs Clyde (Wednesday 19:45)

The only Scottish League Cup game on Wednesday night will see Edinburgh City take on Clyde.

Michael McIndoe’s men were beaten 3-0 in their Group G opener away to Motherwell on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Clyde was a scout over the weekend and is now preparing for the opening group game in midweek.

Bully Wee are odds-on favourites to take all three points in the capital, but we can back the visitors to overcome the -1 Asian Handicap hurdle at 89/100 (William Hill), which looks a worthy price boost.

This selection means that if Clyde win the title by two or more goals, we will be paid out. If they win by a single goal, stakes will be refunded, and this should give us a good chance.

Edinburgh endured a miserable spell en route to relegation to Scottish League Two last season, picking up just eight points in a campaign plagued by off-field issues.

Another difficult season is expected for the Meadowbank outfit this season, with the majority of their new recruits arriving from the Scottish Lowland League and junior ranks.

Clyde, on the other hand, appear to have made a number of shrewd signings and this has led to bookmakers making the Bully Wee 2/1 favourites to win the Scottish League Two title this season.

Ian McCall’s men warmed up for their first competition of the season with a resounding 5-2 win over Civil Service Strollers on Saturday and the previous weekend they secured a 3-1 victory away to Queen of the South.

As such, Clyde will head to the capital in high spirits and looks worth backing with a -1 start in the Asian Handicap at 89/100 with William Hill.

Recommended bet

• Clyde -1 (Asian Handicap) – 89/100 (William Hill)
