Read on for my Football Accumulator Tips for Tuesday, 12 May.

Football Odds

Aberdeen (H) to beat St Mirren @ 23/20

A place in the Premiership playoffs is looking likely for second-bottom St Mirren, who make the trip to Aberdeen knowing that a loss would guarantee an 11th-place finish.

Eighth-placed Aberdeen have been on the up and their revival has been masterminded by a former St Mirren manager, Stephen Robinson.

The Dons have taken 10 points from their last four fixtures and they can wrap up their home schedule with a victory over the Buddies, who have experienced a run of four successive league defeats.

Dundee United (H) to beat Livingston @ 7/10

Dundee United would have hoped for a more successful season, but they have won their last four games at Tannadice Park and can wrap up their home schedule with a victory over relegated Livingston.

The Tangerines need another four points to seal seventh spot and they can get three of them against Livi, who have registered only two league victories.

Kilmarnock (H) to beat Dundee @ 1/1

Kilmarnock need to win one of their last two games to seal top-flight survival and they can take the first opportunity by defeating Dundee at Rugby Park.

Neil McCann's side have posted back-to-back 3-0 wins and they may have greater focus and desire than their visitors, who have gone three away games without success.

Hamilton (A) to beat Clyde @ 11/8

League 1 Hamilton have had to battle against 21-point deduction, but they are determined to retain third tier status and can give themselves a great chance by winning away to League 2 Clyde in the first leg of the third tier playoff final.

The Accies have won 16 league matches, which is two more than the 14 wins accumulated by Clyde at the lower level.

Hamilton made it through to this stage with a 5-2 aggregate success over fourth-tier Forfar.

They have won five of their last six fixtures and can gain the upper hand against Clyde, who face a step up in class after their 3-1 aggregate semi-final triumph over Spartans.

Southampton (H) to beat Middlesbrough @ 11/8

Southampton were delighted to dig out a 0-0 draw from Saturday's Championship playoff semi-final, first leg away to Middlesbrough and they can follow by winning the return match at St Mary's Stadium.

Boro showed lots of attacking intent at the weekend and were leading the shot count 17 to nil when the half-time whistle was blown.

However, there was a noticeable change after the interval with Southampton playing with greater composure and working their way back into the contest.

Saints should play more positively on home soil and they can get the better of Boro for the first time this season.
