Motherwell v Hearts: Betfred Cup match preview, TV details and tip

TV: BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Friday

Motherwell look a tempting bet to pile the pressure on Craig Levein by beating Hearts in the Betfred Cup.

It's not a happy ship at Tynecastle at the moment and being thoroughly outplayed at home last week by Ross County was the final straw for many of the fans of the underachieving club as far as their view on the manager was concerned.

Motherwell crashed to a 5-2 home defeat to Celtic, but you can be sure they'll have a right go in front of their own fans.

It wouldn't be a massive surprise if Well boss Stephen Robinson was wanted to replace Levein and he could show why tonight.
