Slough vs Ebbsfleet tips and predictions

Slough picked to do the impossible

The home side is expected to be rolled over, but they shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

The hosts start the match having added 2 victories to their ledger from in their last 4 games. Sure - it'll be a shock to see Slough get this done but they aren't out of contention.

The Rebels need to be at their absolute best and even then they face a huge challenge. If the hosts are up for it, it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent goal rush. The hosts have enjoyed some form. They scored three or more goals in 2 of their recent 6 home matches coupled with some first-class defending. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 5 of their last 8 games.

At certain times Ebbsfleet haven't had a solid platform under pressure. They have conceded two or more goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. Goals have been in short supply for them too. In front of goal, The Fleet have looked hesitant. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 away matches.

It's likely that the offensive play in the hosts' recent displays will be key to their success. If they are to get the job done, it is crucial that they build on this momentum.

Despite the ardent favouritism for Ebbsfleet it will be fun to see Slough make a match of it. It doesn't offer massive value but the Yes BTTS bet is a speculative side bet for this particular game.
