August Bank Holiday Monday means there’s a full card of fixtures in the National League today, all kicking-off at 3pm.
It’s Hartlepool United who lead the way after five matches as they aim to bounce straight back in to the Football League after last season’s relegation.
They face a trip to Chesterfield today, who started with three wins from three but have picked up just one point from their last two games and lost two late goals at the weekend to suffer their first defeat.
Both sides’ matches are averaging over 4 goals per game and Over 2.5 pays 8/13 today.
No-one has conceded more goals than AFC Fylde who have yet to keep a clean sheet. They’ve conceded two or more in four of their five fixtures to date. Today they host Altrincham for whom all five matches have seen both teams score. Over 2.5 pays 4/6 at Mill Farm.
Complete the Over 2.5 Goals Treble at St Albans v Bath City. The visitors are both the highest scorers in the National League South and have the joint highest goals against tally. Their matches so far have finished 3-1, 1-2, 2-6, 3-0, 3-3 and hopefully today’s is just as entertaining.
Over 2.5 Goals Treble
- Chesterfield v Hartlepool United
- AFC Fylde v Altrincham
- St Albans v Bath City
- Treble pays 4/1 at Bet365

Horse Racing Tips
Ocean Quest was a convincing 2pt NAP for Rizzel on Sunday, he is back with one selection on bank holiday Monday.
As ever, please share your tips in for today in the comments section below.
I am tipping over 1.5 goals for St Albans vs Bath City. Not so much sure there will be three goals in the match.
Red card in Spain could be the way forward tonight.
J Munuera Montero is the man in the middle for Vallecano v Athletico, he started off the season in lively fashion with 6 yellows and 2 reds in the Osasuna v Bilbao game last week. Last season he took charge of 18 La Liga games and flashed 8 reds & 99 yellows
Theres been a red card in 2 of the last 3 H2H meetings

@ 6/5 with W/Hills
Good luck with all bets today!!!!
Last night was yet another loser so I’m betting against my own team today so by reverse psychology we will win 😁.
Wales championship north 🏴
KO 2-30.
Bangor 1876 v prestatyn town.
Prestatyn double chance EVENS.
Prestatyn draw no bet 2-1.
Both HILLS
They are an established tier 2 team while we have 3 wins against weaker teams in this league which makes our league position look better than it maybe should.
Red card likely as these were feisty games before Bangor city FC went tits up a few years ago and had to start again in tier 5.
Christ Elvis, I wonder how we manage four tiers up here, how do you get five in the valleys? 😂
Wales has tier 1+2 then tier 3 is split into 4 regional leagues, tier 4+5 split into mainly local Leagues.
I guess Scotland’s tier 5 would be Highland and lowland leagues.
Tier 6 probably based on location like counties but you would know that better than me master
Tier 5 would be lowland & Highland league, then would be down to old junior teams that have joined in last 5 years, east/west of Scotland su0er league etc
Finished
Bangor 1 prestatyn 4.
Bets won.
Even when I win a bet I’m left feeling like an empty vessel and a Judas for backing against my own team 😭
I’m the same elvis hate backing against my own team, needs must when the circumstances are right. Darwin Nunez softened the blow last night though I must admit.
Good stuff Elvis, always hurts to back against your team but as Macca says, got to put the betting brain in front of the fan brain 😀
In other news, Gigg Lane back in play as I’m sure you know…drove past your folks ancestral home off of Walmersley Road last week 👍
Bury are getting ridiculous crowds for the north west counties league.
3235 home to Cheadle on Saturday.
It’s a long road back but if crowds stay high money comes in and hopefully is reinvested in the team.
Macclesfield started the same road a couple of years ago and their crowds have stayed high once the novelty of a new club wire off so hopefully conference north in 3/4 years.
They lost to charnock Richard in the fa cup so can now fully focus on promotion.

Those Nunez strikes were proper finishes and can only boost the lads self confidence

Stuffed. Where’s VAR
My tennis plays for day 1 at the US Open.
M McDonald to beat F Auger-Aliassime @ 2.20 William Hill (NB)
I struggle to understand based on form why Auger-Aliassime is the favourite in this one. He has been awful for most of the season & has lost in recent matches to Watanuki, Purcell & Mannarino. He has been struggling to rally beyond 4/5 shots without making an error. I just feel this is a bad match up for him. McDonald will get plenty of balls back & will unlikely give much away. Auger-Aliassime hasn’t been serving that well so I do feel McDonald will get chances to break. For me the odds should be reversed so I have to make a play.
B Gojo -2.5 Sets v H Dellien @ 2.06 Unibet
Dellien’s form on hard courts is horrific to say the least. He has also played just one match on the surface in 2 years this being a 6-4 7-5 6-0 loss to Couacaud at this years Australian Open. Gojo was impressive in qualifying especially in beating Machac without losing serve. Gojo has a big serve and powerful game and should be far too good on this surface against a player who is a pure clay courter. I would not be surprised if Gojo holds his serve throughout this and may not even face many if any break points.

Evening gents,
Portugal for me tonight – if there was a red card option I’d take it but there isn’t!
RIO AVE VS. FC PORTO (8.15pm)
As it is, corners and cards come a close second and I really fancy this near evens double for the Nap….

5/2 a red at Skybet Hull
Didn’t see that – well spotted sir 👍
Portugal also for corners
Rio Ave v Porto
Some speculative selections at longer odds.
There’s been 15 and 20 corners in total in Porto’s first two games. Rio Ave had 17 in their last home game, getting 14 themselves.
Think this could go well into double figures.
Over 15 corners @ 11
Over 16 coeners @ 15.5
Over 17 corners @ 19

BOTAFOGO VS. ABC (00.00)
