Banbury vs Tamworth tips and predictions

Tamworth too short in one-sided National League North encounter

Conventional wisdom says that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

It's easy to write off Banbury but the price of the visiting team is simply too short to have any involvement with.

The Puritans should expect extended periods of play without possession. While probably not enough to change the destiny of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. The hosts are doing some good stuff and they're gaining some momentum. They have scored two or more times in 1 of their recent 3 matches while their defensive showings warrant recognition. In recent showings they've conceded no more than once in 2 of their last 3 home games.

Tamworth have had a few wobbles recently. They've conceded one or more times in all of their last 3 matches. Their harsher critics will try to find problems at the other end of the pitch. Averaging just 0.6 goals in their last 7 away matches, creating match-winning chances is proving elusive for Tamworth.

Banbury have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides.

The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the overwhelming favouritism for Tamworth. This preview is only interested in value though and the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the sharper play from that market.
