Motherwell to win and both teams to score is 7/2.
Kaiyne Woolery is 6/1 to break the deadlock and 2/1 to score in 90 minutes.

Can Ross County maintain their distance from the relegation places?
On Saturday, the Staggies came from behind to beat relegation rivals St Johnstone 3-1 at Victoria Park.
So, Malky Mackay’s men have lost just one of their last five games, also beating the other side below them, Dundee, in February.
As alluded to, Dundee are bottom with St Johnstone two points above in the relegation play-off spot, while Ross County are now seven points clear of the Saints.
Of course, there’s still a long way to go, these teams will meet again after the split, but the Highlanders are well on their way to safety.
Can they secure back-to-back league wins for the first time this season?
Motherwell meanwhile fought back to secure a very unlikely point on Sunday.
Despite being 2-0 down just 24 minutes into their weekend trip to Ibrox, the Well fought back and left Govan with a point.

This is the second time the Steelmen have taken a point off the champions this season, also drawing 1-1 at Ibrox in mid-September.
Graham Alexander’s side remain winless in 2022, a run that now stretches over eight games, but this draw moved them back into the top six.
Will Motherwell now secure their first victory since Boxing Day as they return to Fir Park?
Motherwell team news
Jordan Roberts’ excellent second half display at Ibrox, after coming on at half time, should earn him a start here.
The solid midfield duo of Liam Donnelly, Mark O’Hara and Dean Cornelius will continue to be the heart of this side.
Goalkeeper Liam Kelly was the other hero on Sunday and he’s now taken his tally to 103 Premiership saves this season, three behind leader Craig Gordon.
