Stratford vs Nuneaton tips and predictions

Winning mentality may be key for Stratford

With just 2 points between them it's 15th placed Stratford versus 18th placed Nuneaton.

This could well be one of those encounters where Stratford do just enough to get the job done and they're sure to face some resistance from this Nuneaton squad.

For Stratford to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have got 10 wins under their belt from their last 17 home games while the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 9 of their recent 13 matches on the road.

These home players have enjoyed a run of form on their own soil. Stratford scored two or more goals in 11 of their recent 18 home matches.

Nuneaton have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 13 away matches. It will be interesting to see how they pull-up on the back of these recent showings.

The last time these two sides met was in September. Stratford won with a dominant 4-0 scoreline so they'll be seeking a repeat performance.

To be fair, it won't be a surprise to see them share the spoils. Most previews are saying that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense for this particular encounter.
