Belper Town vs St. Ives tips and predictions

Belper Town backs against wall

With the gulf in class between the sides the visitors are expected to get through this. St. Ives are rightly odds-on here and they should get the job done.

The hosts aren't looking like they're on the right trajectory as they prepare for this skirmish. Belper Town are in some patchy form. They've lost 14 of their last 20 matches.

The visitors hold all the advantages and their short price reflects that. St. Ives have been victorious in 10 of their last 16 matches. They've scored at least once in all of their last 18 games and even if they don't line up with their best eleven they are still healthy favourites.

The sportsbooks believe that both sides can score despite the favouritism for St. Ives. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around. Obviously all of this depends on how the hosts adapt to a standard of football they aren't familiar with. And for fans of the goal line, it's Under 1.5 Goals that stands out here given the latest odds.

The visitors are coming off a 3-2 win last Tuesday against Ilkeston. St. Ives's bigger match experience is likely to prove significant.
