AFC Rushden & Diamonds vs Tamworth tips and predictions

Visitors odds too short ahead of FA Trophy clash

If you like football you could be in for a treat. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

To start this preview with a disclaimer; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

The hosts are going into the match having won 7 times in their last 15 home games.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds need to focus on the task in hand if they are to continue causing problems. These home players have enjoyed a purple patch at their own ground. They have scored two or more goals in 6 of their recent 12 home matches and accolades have also come in for their defence. At the back they have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 16 home games.

Tamworth haven't managed to maintain a clean sheet on the road for a while. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 20 away matches. Further, there could be signs that their ability to find the net is taking a dip. In front of goal, The Lambs haven't been firing on all cylinders. They've scored one or less goals in 14 of their last 20 away matches.

To be fair, it might be a turn-up for the books just to see the sides end with parity. Most previews are saying that both sides can score despite the favouritism for Tamworth. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 2.5 Goals that stands out here given the prices available there.
