I’M sticking with the Lower League theme and have picked out an FA Trophy replay featuring one of my old favourite sides.
MICKLEOVER SPORTS v STRATFORD TOWN (7.45pm)
Back in the day, Mickleover were one of my ‘go-to’ teams for goals in the Non-League Div One – they were one of life’s certainties and the preponderance for games featuring btts was eye-watering.
I still keep tabs on them but was surprised to see that they have recently entered a rare phase of ‘goal-dry’ games with the last 4 seeing 2 or less match goals…a rare occurrence and one that has, in conjunction with the 1-1 first leg, led to a very generous price for goals in my humble opinion.
Despite that recent recorf, Mickleover have scored in around 75% of their last 12 home matches and managed the away goal at Stratford last time out – as for the travelling side, Stratford have scored in 90% of their own last 10 whilst seeing btts in 11 of their most recent 16 matches.
To hell with the bookies, I’m not having a Mickleover game with no goals – both sides have proven they can get the better of the others defence and I reckon these prices are well worth a go.
