Chippenham vs Taunton tips and predictions

Chippenham need to be wary

The hosts are expected to get through this as they are a sixth-tier unit but it might not be as simple as that. Taunton might surprise the hosts here but it would be a big shock. They are genuine outsiders so this isn't a confident prediction.

The hosts haven't looked like world-beaters in some of their underpowered performances. Chippenham are in some patchy form. They've lost 3 of their last 6 games as hosts. Their tactics in the final third haven't helped their latest goal scoring ledger. They've scored one or less goals in 6 of their last 7 matches on their own soil which is a fact that might be interesting to supporters of the upset. Their defensive vulnerabilities at home could make the difference in this match-up too. They conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 20 home matches which lends some further credibility to the away win.

If the away team has a bit of good fortune they could get an unlikely result against the odds. The Peacocks have actually won 6 of their last 10 outings.

If the win is out of reach, they can grab something here. Don't rule out seeing the visitors come away having fought to a deadlock. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Chippenham. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market. When there is evidently a gulf in class, games can take an unpredictable turn so all of this preview depends on how the visitors adapt to a superior standard of the sport.
