Tonbridge vs Braintree tips and predictions

Result not inevitable in National League South

Braintree will be confident of the win. Their price doesn't represent any great value though. The following preview isolates the most important goal scoring stats in order to identify the best value, which is the away win.

The hosts will be eager to put some of their recent tepid performances out of their minds. Tonbridge are definitely worth opposing at the moment. They've lost 8 of their last 18 games at home. To compound their problems, goals are conspicuous by their absence. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 4 matches on their own turf which probably won't get the job done here. They will also need to tighten up their defence. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 7 home matches which is a fact that will be music to the ears of backers of the visiting side.

Braintree have delivered plenty of good numbers. Their best stuff has been summarised by their confident finishing. They've scored three or more goals in 3 of their last 15 away fixtures. If they don't put out their best starting eleven they still have goal scorers to add to this run of form. If these away players put some decent passages together they could produce a result.

Don't be surprised to see these sides ending up in deadlock though. Most previews are saying that both sides can score as they can both be dangerous in attack. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable on this occasion. Looking into the goal line, it's under 1.5 goals in this game considering the odds on offer.

Tonbridge have not won any of the last 4 games between these two sides.
