JUST one team remain unbeaten as we head into another appetising weekend of Enterprise National League action and William Hill News bring you Tony Incenzo’s best bets and predictions for Saturday.
Meanwhile, one club have yet to record a victory. So football betting odds make absorbing reading.
National League Best Bets This Weekend:
- Harrogate, Boreham Wood & Southend all to win (13/2)
- Halifax v Hornchurch to end in a draw (23/10)
Here is my analysis of the upcoming fixtures I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your betting plans…
Harrogate Town v Tamworth Prediction
- Kick-off: 12.30pm
- Rankings: 2nd versus 19th
Harrogate Town preview – Two straight victories leave the newly relegated Sulphurites three points short of pole position. Monday saw goalkeeper Luke Hutchinson join from Bolton Wanders on loan for three months.
Tamworth preview – Hovering one point above the dreaded drop zone. Their only National league maximum pointer so far was 3-2 at home to Worthing on Friday 28th August.
Score prediction: Sulphurites succinct 1-0.
Eastleigh v Boreham Wood Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 10th versus 1st
Eastleigh preview – One point below Play-off considerations. Last Friday’s 2-1 setback at Altrincham ended a three match unbeaten sequence for the Spitfires.
Returning home now, I like the way Eastleigh went viral recently for mowing a striking Spitfire aircraft design directly into the centre circle of their Silverlake Stadium pitch.
Boreham Wood preview – Enjoying a three point buffer. Wood drew their initial League game 3-3 against visitors Tamworth but have won every match since then.
Prolific marksman Matt Rush is the National League’s leading scorer delivering nine goals in only six appearances.
Score prediction: Wood wonders 3-0.
Halifax Town v Hornchurch Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 17th versus 4th
Halifax Town preview – Two points ahead of relegation peril following two defeats inside three encounters.
Hornchurch preview – Four points off top spot. Their 1-0 home defeat against Forest green Rovers last Saturday overturned two successive wins but the Urchins still progressing nicely after last season’s promotion via the National League South Play-Offs.
Score prediction: Horrid 0-0.
Carlisle United v Southend United Prediction
- Kick-off: 5.30pm
- Rankings: 14th versus 3rd
Carlisle United preview – Their 2-1 defeat at Boreham Wood last time out arrested a four game unbeaten spree. It leaves the Cumbrian outfit four points shy of Play-Off discussions.
They signed striker Micah Obiero from Wealdstone for an undisclosed fee on Wednesday. He has penned a two year contract.
Southend United preview – A 650 mile round trip. New boss Kieron Dyer returned to winning ways overturning a two game blip by edging visitors Yeovil Town 3-2 last weekend before a crowd of 8,246.
Score prediction: Southend shine 2-0.
Rest of the weekend’s Enterprise National League score predictions:
- Worthing v Barrow: 0-0
- Boston United v Wealdstone: 3-2
- Forest Green Rovers v Gateshead: 4-1
- Solihull Moors v Aldershot Town: 1-2
- Sutton United v Scunthorpe United: 1-0
- Woking v Altrincham: 0-2
- Yeovil Town v Fylde: 3-3
