Derek McInnes began his role as Hearts manager with a strong display on Saturday, aiming for another League Cup group stage win against Hamilton tonight. The Jambos secured a 4-1 win over Championship side Dunfermline at Tynecastle in their first match. Though flattering, as the Pars competed until conceding three late goals.
McInnes takes his team to Broadwood to face Accies, and a defeat against struggling Hamilton would be surprising.
### Hamilton Academical vs Heart of Midlothian top betting tips
Accies were relegated from the Championship post points deduction due to financial issues. They’re now playing at Broadwood instead of their Hamilton stadium, reflecting the club’s turmoil.
Manager John Rankin lost key players in the summer but still managed a 2-0 win at Stirling Albion in their Group E opener.
Hearts are a higher level opponent, and BoyleSports lists the Premiership team as 3/10 favorites. Value is hard to find, but backing the Jambos at -1 in the handicap is promising at 20/21.
Despite not being at their best Saturday, McInnes’ squad scored four, showcasing their attacking strength, making over 2.5 Hearts goals appealing at 11/8.
### Forfar Athletic vs St Mirren
The opening weekend had surprises, with St Mirren drawing in Arbroath despite being favorites against Championship opponents.
Expected to score several goals after impressive pre-season friendlies, Stephen Robinson’s team didn’t have a single shot on target.
The Paisley manager demands an improved performance in Forfar, with St Mirren expected to challenge a team that finished second to last in League Two last season.
Backing the Buddies to lead at both half-time and full-time offers good value at 20/23 with BoyleSports and 7/4 to win both halves.
### Motherwell vs Peterhead
Motherwell, another Premiership team, struggled in their opener, drawing 2-2 with League Two Clyde.
This wasn’t the start new manager Jens Berthel Askou wanted, but he should achieve his first home victory against Peterhead.
The artificial pitch on Saturday might have affected Well’s performance, and Askou’s style should work better on Fir Park’s grass.
League One Peterhead conceded four goals to Morton in their opener, suggesting more goals tonight.
Over 3.5 match goals seems worth betting at evens with BoyleSports, while over 1.5 first-half goals holds the same price.
