Whitby vs Morpeth tips and predictions

Whitby look to build on recent showings

With just 3 points between them it's 12th placed Whitby versus 13th placed Morpeth in this NPL Premier Division clash.

You can get a decent price on Morpeth because the home side won't harbour any thoughts of capitulation.

Whitby won't fear this Morpeth outfit. The visitors look ill-prepared away from home; they've lost all of their last 5 away matches. They should prepare themselves for defeat again here.

This home side is in a purple patch. Whitby scored one or more times in 19 of their recent 20 home matches and they are only conceding an average of 0.8 goals over their last 16 games at home. They'll see this clash as an opportunity to put in another strong display in defence so don't be surprised to see them keep a clean sheet.

Morpeth lacked rearguard reliability in some of their recent trips. They've conceded three or more times in all of their last 5 away matches. It's debatable that they'll have the wherewithal to keep the hosts out.

Whitby have won 6 of the last 9 fixtures between these sides. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats provide reasons to believe in the home win.

The betting markets imply that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Whitby. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best pick from that market.
