Bath City - Alfreton Town

Six-pointer! Bath are at the bottom, five points below the line (with a game in hand), but there’s some certain improvement in their game. At home, they’re undefeated in last seven competitive games and have won three out of last four. They got trashed at Grimsby for the weekend (which is not a shame at the moment), but I think they were with their minds on this game.

Alfreton have noticed 10 defeats out of 14 away games (stayed undefeated in last two, though). So as Bath, they also had an unpleasant weekend losing at home against Kidderminster 0-2. They will miss a Stoke’s loaned striker, Moult and first choice goalie.

Apparently I missed the better price earlier today, but am still fine with the odd.

Bet: Bath City -0.25
Odd: 1.99 (Pinnacle)
Stake: 6/10

Forest Green Rovers - Wrexham

Rovers are winless in last seven games (five in league) and in those have scored just once. They look safe from relegation and without a hope for play-off. They've played 11 games against teams above them in the table and have only one win (at Southport).

Wrexham are topping the table and are in a great run of results with seven consecutive wins.

Betting on a winning horse, away win.

Bet: Wrexham -0.5
Odd: 2.04 (Canbet)
Stake: 6/10

Blue Square Bet Premier, Barrow - Alfreton Town

q

Barrow have pretty strong home record with six wins (two draws and two defeats) out of ten home games. At home turf, they’ve already beaten top two sides, Fleetwood Town (4-0) and Wrexham (3-1). It is only Wrexham’s defeat out of their 11 on the road. Barrow are winless in last three in league, but there was some improvement in previous game at Telford where the Bluebirds played pretty well, but thankfully to home goalie (named as man of the match) stayed empty handed.

Alfreton have the second worst record on the road, as they took only four points from their ten trips (eight defeats, draw and one win). This is long journey for them and as I understood they’ll be without three players in defence line and a winger.

I think there’s some decent value on home side and since four of their six home wins came with two or more goals margin, I go even further and am taking -0.75.

Bet: Barrow -0.75
Odd: 2.05 (188bet)
Stake: 7/10
