Westfalia Herne vs Sprockhovel tips and predictions

Visitors price too short

Some would say this is a mismatch. They might be wrong. Sprockhovel are a short price but they've at times shown that they can be broken down at the back. An entertaining match awaits, almost certain to deliver some goals so it should make for an entertaining affair. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

Sprockhovel are clearly favoured by the sportsbooks but they are just too short.

Westfalia Herne will have been taking notes during Sprockhovel's reverses in their recent results. Defeats have gradually been mounting up for this away squad over their last 20 fixtures. They've lost 10 times during these 20 starts. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

And while they are expected to dispose of Westfalia Herne they're not unbeatable and a home win could be a fair suggestion.

Westfalia Herne should expect extended periods of play without possession. While probably not enough to change the outcome of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. Are these home players in any form? They scored at least once in 5 of their recent 6 home matches.

Lately Sprockhovel haven't had the fundamentals to stand up to pressure. They have conceded three or more goals in 5 of their last 15 matches. But their problems don't seem to be limited to their defensive line. The visitors haven't really been able to depend on their goal-scorers in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 matches.

They have done business before. Westfalia Herne have won 5 of the last 9 fixtures between the two teams. You can chose to ignore them but head-to-head stats give reasons to believe in the home win even if the odds will tell you otherwise.

If Sprockhovel are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It is not a strong view and it's not the most exciting of forecasts in today's fixture list but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.
