All matches for this competition are on Tuesday 14th August bar Rangers, who appear in this competition the following week.

There is some value to be had in some of the matches. Our favourite Scottish team Cowdenbeath play East fife. East Fife drew at Alloa at the weekend, whilst Cowdenbeath fell at home to Dunfermline and will be eager to revenge. Cowdenbeath have some quality players such as Ramsey and have edged their way up the leagues in past seasons. There is no reason why they cannot set up a quarter final from the winner of the Rangers match next week with Falkirk.

Cowdenbeath can edge out East Fife and can achieve an evens bet at 188bet. They are as short as 8/11 elsewhere. Those unsure should consider Cowdenbeath at 4/9 to qualify

Arbroath are not worth ignoring after reading reports that they had enough clear-cut chances to win the game and will be difficult to breakdown. The added advantage is Forfar have not netted in some time, so this will appeal to Arbroath to win this to nil. However we believe the 19/20 chance at BetVictor is worth taking but can competently qualify for the quarter finals at 1/2.

Airdrie play an East Stirling side that lost 2-0 at the weekend. With a two division gap, the obvious choice will be to go with an Airdrie side that won 4-1 at home, so will want to continue this momentum by reaching the quarter finals We are confident they will win in 90 minutes and have no hesitation tipping them.

Recommended betting:
Cowdenbeath to qualify – 4/9
Arbroath to qualify – 1/2
Airdrie to win in 90 minutes – 9/20 BetVictor

The treble pays 3.11 if you want to take it on!
