Winchester vs Poole tips and predictions

Crazy to look past Winchester?

Poole are favourites in the betting. They should be, but they don't provide any value.

Winchester will be desperate for evidence that they can add another L to the Poole's recent results. Losses have gradually been stacking up for this group of away players over their last 18 fixtures. They've lost 8 times during these 18 starts. To put your faith in this team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Winchester but they aren't a shoe-in and a home win is a reasonable suggestion.

Winchester need to be in their best form to pull out a result. The home side is certainly in some form on their own patch. They scored three or more times in 7 of their recent 19 home matches coupled with some quality defending. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 4 of their last 6 games.

Lately Poole have lacked the right stuff near the 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more times in 9 of their last 16 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that this might not be one-way traffic. Their fans can find reasons to believe. In front of goal, the visitors have looked underwhelming. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 12 away matches.

To be fair, it might be surprise enough to see the sides end with parity. The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Poole. This preview is only interested in value though and the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the better idea from that market.
