Balcatta vs Armadale tips and predictions

Armadale too short for this trip

Armadale basically look too short. This isn't a formality.

Balcatta backers will look at Armadale's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. Adversity has gradually been building up for this group of away players over their last 19 fixtures. They've been beaten 7 times in that period. For such a short priced team you might have wanted a better return than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Balcatta but they're not unbeatable and a home win seems a fair suggestion.

Balcatta will need to hope that their rivals are complacent. They must also drill into what they've done well recently. The home side is in some form on their own soil. They have scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 9 home matches.

There have been passages of play when Armadale have lacked a strong foundation near the 18-yard line. They have conceded three or more goals in 5 of their last 18 matches. The problems don't end there though. The visitors haven't really been able to rely on their play-makers in some of their recent engagements. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 3 matches.

Balcatta have won 6 of the last 16 fixtures between these sides.

Winning might be a stretch but they can get something here. Perhaps the draw is more likely. Most previews are saying that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Armadale. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value.
