Midlakes United vs Ballard tips and predictions

Midlakes United generous price to see off Ballard

If you like end-to-end football, you'll be pumped for this. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

To start this preview with a disclaimer; it isn't a particularly confident forecast but the away side price is too short.

This Midlakes United team might have two chances; slim and none. And slim just left town. However, the hosts have registered 4 wins in their last 5 home games. With less success than one would have thought the travelling side has been defeated in 2 of their last 5 matches, home or away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

Midlakes United are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. While probably not enough to change the outcome of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. The hosts have been making the most of a recent run of form on their own soil. They scored two or more goals in 3 of their recent 4 home matches and their determination has been evident all over the field. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 6 of their last 7 games.

Ballard have actually conceded at least once in all of their last 5 matches. They will be confident that they won't be adding to those stats though. They are a short price for a reason and it would be duplicitous to ignore that.

Ballard will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet looks like the pick there. Looking into the goal line, it's Under 2.5 Goals that's been picked out given the latest prices.
