SlipsTips Tips: Wrexham vs York City

After delivering another pair of winners in his featured column last Sunday, SlipsTips returns to share a selection from Wrexham's clash with York City in the English National League on Saturday,

Wrexham vs York City (Saturday, 15:00)

Wrexham will be looking to cement their position at the top of the National League with a victory over York City at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday.

The Welsh outfit are currently three points clear of Notts County with a game in hand and they will be desperate to finish top of the pile, as only the first-places team in the National League is guaranteed automatic promotion to the Football League.

Last time out, Phil Parkinson's side picked up a battling 2-1 win at Bromley, while their latest opponents York City earned a 2-1- win at home to Dorking Wanderers.

You won't get rich backing another Wrexham win here at a general 1/4, however we can boost those odds up to an enticing 4/5 (Bet 365) by backing the Dragons to overcome a – 1.5 start on the Asian Handicap.

This selection would deliver a full pay-out if Wrexham triumph by at least two goals and that holds plenty of appeal given the considerable gulf in quality between the two teams.

Wrexham have claimed top honours in a whopping 29 of their 38 National League games this season so far, not to mention they boast an unbeaten home record having triumphed in 17 of their 18 outings in front of their own supporters.

What's more, Phil Parkinson has the one of the most potent attacks in the division at his disposal, with his free-scoring team slamming in 97 strikes across their opening 38 league games of the season, netting multiple times on 29 of those occasions.

Admittedly, 18th-placed York will be high in spirits after last week's aforementioned victory over Dorking, but it’s worth noting that Michael Morton's men have fallen to defeat in five of their last six road matches, three of which were by a two-goal margin.

Furthermore, the Minstermen have failed to keep their sheets clean in 31 of their 38 league games this term to date, leaking a minimum of two goals or more in five of their previous seven assignments.

With all this in mind, coupled with the fact that Wrexham have overcome this hurdle in 12 of their 17 league wins at home thus far, backing the league leaders with a –1.5 start stands out at 4/5 (Bet 365).
