    Just a word of caution on Norwich. 
    Farke has confirmed today that Moritz Leitner and Onel Hernandez are both out injured.
    Leitner has been Norwich’s most influential player this season, pulling all the strings and orchestrating play. If the season was to stop now, he would arguably be awarded Norwich’s player of the season.
    Probably second most influential player is Hernandez. The Cuban has been a constant threat from the left wing this season, with his electric pace and trickery.
    Big, big losses for tomorrow, and as mentioned in another post, Rotherham have been playing well recently, and were the better side against Sheffield United.
    Another side story to the game is that of Millers boss Paul Warne. He is a Norfolk lad and Norwich fan, with all his family still living in the region. He has (understandably) been saying in the press all week how motivated he is for this game. 
    I don’t really have any betting advice on this game though, and in my opinion Norwich are on the short side, in what is a typically competitive Championship. I just thought I would share some thoughts and injury news.

    November was a decent month profit wise and December (as long as the weather plays ball) is obviously a very busy month so fingers crossed the decent form can continue. I have 3 FA Cup bets for Sunday and they are all on that thread. I have 5 bets in the 3 National League's for Saturday.
    AFC Fylde v Sutton
    It was good to finally be on the right side of a bet on Fylde away from home as they had a pretty comfortable time of things in beating now mangerless Hartlepool on Tuesday night. At home they have won 8, drawn 1 and lost just twice and they were to Salford and Leyton Orient. The draw was against Harrogate so we are talking about them only dropping points to the top teams in the division and although Sutton have only lost 4 times they haven't been reaching the levels they did last season. Their last 3 league performances haven't been great although they did come from 2 down to draw 2-2 at Braintree on Tuesday night, but then Braintree are bottom. They lost to Slough on penalties in the FA Cup and Fylde look a cut above to me especially given how strong they are at home. I think they should be odds on so am happy to get involved at 11/10.
    Hartlepool v Dagenham & Redbridge
    I'm not sure Hartlepool have got either managerial appointments right since they dropped out of the Football League. Fair play to Matthew Bates for keeping them in the division last season especially in very tricky circumstances, but after a solid start things have gone downhill fast and they have lost 6 league games on the bounce. Not surprisingly he got the sack on Wednesday and the club need to get the next appointment right so they can at least give themselves a solid base for next season. In the very short term I am not sure things are going to get any better on Saturday and Dagenham look a hell of a bet at 7/2 to pick up another 3 points. Since the takeover Peter Taylor has been able to spend money and the team has been improving. They have won 5 out of their last 6 games and the only loss was a 1-0 defeat to Sutton. They have only conceded 4 times in their last 6 games and they have been a lot more solid at the back as well as being clinical at the other end of the pitch. These two sides should be much closer to each other in the betting.
    Nuneaton v Blyth Spartans
    Like Hartlepool Nuneaton are also without a manager at the moment and I think things are going to take some time before the new owner has any effect on the playing side of things. The three draws they got in their last 8 league games were decent efforts, but they lost their other 5 games and 4 of those were by at least 2 goals. Blyth didn't have a great start to the season, but they have shown a big improvement in recent weeks, bar a couple of bad defeats. In their last 8 league games they were their only two losses and they won 5 of those games including against an in form Stockport on Tuesday night. They only picked up 1 point in their first 6 away games, but have picked up 7 in their other 3 which is more proof of their improvement. They should be favourites to win this so the 2/1 is a cracking bet in my view.
    Spennymoor v Kidderminster
    Spennymoor did us a good turn last week and after a tricky start they really put Halesowen to the sword to beat them 8-2. Now this game will obviously be harder, but Kidderminster's form has really gone downhill in recent weeks. They have only won one of their last 6 league games and York beat them 3-1 in the FA Trophy last week. To be fair their away form has been better than their home form and they have only lost once on their travels, but they drew against Nuneaton in their last away game and I think Spennymoor are looking much the better side at the moment, thus they look a fair bet.
    Truro v St Albans
    The other team in the double last week were Truro and I am also sticking with them this week back in league action. As I mentioned last week they have been an improved side of late and they are unbeaten in their last 5 league games. They look a decent bet here as I think they should be favourites. St Albans games have been very exciting as their league games have seen 64 goals already, yet strangely their last league game saw them draw 0-0 against Gloucester. That was their first point in 4 games though and it was a poor game. Since then they have been beaten in a replay by Weymouth in the FA Trophy and they look out of sorts at the moment. With a long trip to Torquay ahead of them I think this could be another game they end up with nothing.

    Wrexham vs Newport County
    The stand-out match of the FA Cup 2nd Round games coming up this weekend is the all-Welsh clash between National League side Wrexham and League Two club Newport County at the Racecourse Ground this Saturday at 8pm. It's north versus south and this is a game that neither team will want to lose.
    Wrexham are enjoying a brilliant season so far. Sam Ricketts is doing a fantastic job as gaffer at the Dragons. His team are 3rd in the league table. They had been leading the way but failure to take a win from their last three league matches has seen them falter slightly and they are now 4 points behind league leaders Leyton Orient.
    Newport County are also experiencing some good times. Mike Flynn has had a positive influence around the club ever since he was appointed with the club on the verge of relegation. He has turned things around and the team is now 4th in League Two and just 5 points off the top spot. Inconsistent results lately have put a dent in their automatic promotion hopes but generally it's been an encouraging first 20 league games.
    In Wales, this is the game of the weekend. These two sides last met in in the 2013 National League Play-Off Final that Newport County won. The previous time before that was on 26th March, 1988. There are probably some of you reading this that weren't even born then! Newport County edge the head-to-head meetings with 8 victories compared to Wrexham's 7 wins and 5 draws. Both teams have scored in just 2 of the last 10 meetings.
    Everything seems to point towards a Newport County win. They have the better head-to-head, stronger playing squad, higher league ranking, and have proven they can do the business against lower placed teams on the road in this cup competition already. I just think it's high time Wrexham came away with a result.
    If you're not from Wales then you will unlikely know that it's a tough old trip going from south to north Wales. It's winding roads and if you want to avoid them then you need to cross over into England, head up the M5 or M6, and cut back across. This could be a tough one for a Newport County side that will definitely not look forward to this trip. I was tempted to back a Wrexham win but I'm leaning more towards a draw. I also think we're due a both teams to score.

    Chesterfield v Grimsby
    Regular readers of my stuff will know I am going to put up the draw here. Chesterfield's amazing draw record is now getting a bit of a higher profile, but still no one apart from me seems to be suggesting to actually be backing them to draw. Even though they did beat Billericay in the replay we are still in profit on them in this competition backing them to draw. They weren't at their best on Tuesday against Bromley and needed a late penalty to get the point, but they have it in them to cause Grimsby some problems. Grimsby are improving and had a very good win against Tranmere on Tuesday night, but away from home they have only won twice in the league all season. There is every chance this could be another draw and who knows it might well be 1-1 again!
    Barnet v Stockport
    Both this sides caused pretty big upsets in the 1st Round with Stockport winning at Yeovil and Barnet beating Bristol Rovers in a replay. I think Stockport have a real chance of making it to the 3rd Round here, a round not that long ago they would have entered the competition in. Barnet are sill a bit inconsistent and weren't great against Gateshead last Saturday. That made it 3 league defeats in their last 4 games. Stockport didn't have the ideal prep for this when losing 3-2 on Tuesday night to an improving Blyth side, but that was their first league defeat in 7 games and they had a great win over Chorley in the FA Trophy last Saturday. They were 6/1 to beat Yeovil so for them to be only a point lower to win this makes them decent value for me.
    Tranmere v Southport
    Tranmere had a right old scare in the 1st Round as Oxford City should have beaten them. The replay was pretty routine as City weren't anywhere near the level they were in the first game. They face a local derby here and I think Southport are decent value to cause an upset. They were really disappointing at the start of the season, but they are finally showing the form which made me want to back them for the National League North title at the start of the season. They beat Boreham Wood in the 1st Round 2-0 and they are now unbeaten in 7 games. Tranmere of cause beat Wood in the play-off final last year and they are just outside the play-offs in League 2. Their home form is strong and they have lost just once at home. It could be that the scare they got in the 1st Round might mean they are more on it here, but Southport are good enough to take advantage if they aren't and 15/2 is a big price for me.
    Chesterfield v Grimsby 1pt draw @ 23/10 with Betfair

    Cardiff vs Wolves
    The Premier League action kick starts this weekend with my beloved Cardiff facing Wolves at the Cardiff City Stadium in an 8pm kick-off. Neither side is stacking up the wins right now and both are in dire need of a victory to get some vital points on the board. Will one side prevail or is this destined to end in a stalemate?
    Cardiff are currently in 19th place. Only goal difference is keeping them off the bottom but they are also just one win away from 15th place. It's very tight at the bottom and even though they suffered another loss away to Everton last weekend it was another encouraging display from the Bluebirds.
    Wolves are still in a position of mid-table mediocrity but it's now 4 defeats and 1 draw from their previous 5 Premier League matches. Their fans seem confident that they can end that run of results in this game but will their over-confidence here be their downfall?
    I'm quietly optimistic that we can get the win here. We really should have got the double over them last season beating them 2-1 early in the season and missing two late pens in the return fixture to lose 1-0 at home. I feel the problem that Nuno Espirito Santo has is that he's kept faith with the same players for too long. Wolves have a cracking starting XI but if they drop form or get worked out then their squad outside of that XI isn't particularly strong.
    The way Cardiff have been playing these past few league games I've felt they've deserved more than the points they've earned. Lacking a clinical striker is still our big issue. Until that is resolved then we'll always head into games as underdogs. This is no different. If we can get a goal from somewhere then I'd back us to keep a clean sheet here. The most likely outcome is a draw. However, being a true Bluebird, I'm going to back us for the win!

    Huddersfield Town V Brighton & Hove Albion
    X @ 3.04 Marathonbet
    Huddersfield have been playing with renewed confidence and vitality in recent matches with markets and pundits slow to adjust. Brighton's issues away from the Amex are well documented and perhaps an inability to smuggle clackers and song sheets into opposition grounds has not helped matters.
    Despite this I feel Brighton can make life difficult for Huddersfield here and so I prefer X rather than Huddersfield DNB or 0 AH line. We've got to remember that Huddersfield have a weak attack (currently joint worst in EPL along with Palace). Brighton are solid enough to limit the home sides ambitions and so a 0-0 or 1-1 is likely here.
    Markets have been quicker to catch on for this match but they will not stop me backing the stalemate here, X @ 3.00 or bigger will do for me.
     
    Newcastle Utd V West Ham Utd
    X @ 3.32 Marathonbet
    A tough game to predict but looking at the technicals we can see these two are closely matched both in terms of ELO and key goal metrics.
    Newcastle have won three on the bounce in the league but I don't like backing bottom half teams to go on extended consecutive winning runs in the EPL.
    Some could even argue that there is slight value in backing the Hammers on +0.25 AH line here but I think markets have basically got this one right from AH perspective. West Ham's added value is so marginal it's not worth bothering with. We also have to respect the fact that Newcastle are in a good moment and feeling confident.
    It's hard to see either side having the supremacy to come away with all 3pts here and because the metrics are so close I feel that backing the draw is the prudent move in this scenario.

    Ayr
    Have to admit Ayr is not my most profitable track by a very long way but they have a couple of nice prospects on tomorrows card and will be worth watching for future reference.
    In the opening race Ruth Jefferson introduces Buster Valentine who cost £100,000 after winning a point at Stowlin, he made all and won comfortably and looks a very exciting recruit. The 5yo wont be a price as he has found a very weak contest for his first run over hurdles.
    In the 2.25 we have a fascinating novice chase which looks between three of the 7 starters. Two southern raiders in the shape of No Hassle Hoff (D.Skelton) and Kalahari Queen  (J.Snowden) have some chasing form in the book and they are joined by newcomer Uppertown Prince from the McCain yard.
    On hurdles ratings No Hassle Hoff edges it by a few pounds and there was enough to like about his chasing debut at Sandown to think once he has ironed out the silly mistakes he can take one of these races without much fuss.
    1210: Buster Valentine 10/11

    Lyon vs Manchester City
    The Champions League is back after a few weeks break and our first preview of this week is the tricky match-up between Ligue 1 Lyon and Premier League leaders Manchester City in this 8pm kick-off from the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon. The visitors have already all but qualified for the last 16 and are resting a number of first team players. Does that leave them vulnerable?
    Lyon earned a surprising 2-1 win in the reverse fixture. Unfortunately, it's just been 3 draws from their other 3 matches in this group. That still has them in 2nd place and a win here would see them take a huge step towards reaching the next phase of this competition.
    Manchester City practically sealed qualification to the knock-out stage with a rampant 6-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the previous round of matches. Pep Guardiola's side still need 1 point to make sure but it would take a spectacular collapse to see it all go wrong.
    City will certainly be without Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Benjamin Mendy, and Gabriel Jesus. Guardiola is set to rest a number of players ahead of a busy Christmas schedule. Even a weakened City team will still be a match for this Lyon side. Bruno Genesio's men are 4th in Ligue 1 but will be desperate to win here. After the previous meeting between these two clubs they will no doubt believe they can cause another upset.
    This will be City's third away Champions League game in France. Their two previous trips have resulted in a 2-2 draw with PSG back in April 2016 and a 3-1 defeat to Monaco in March 2017. Will it be yet another miserable trip across the Channel? That statistic is not helped by Lyon having a brilliant record against English sides at home. The French side have lost just 1 of their last 10 European ties against English clubs. 
    I actually fancy Lyon to make this game difficult for City tonight. This is no doubt a City team that is one of the best in Europe but will they be able to strut their stuff in the hostile away atmosphere against a Lyon side that have beaten them once already this season and are proving quite prolific at home. I'm not comfortable enough to back a Lyon win but they won't get hammered and it could be a tricky night for the Citizens.

    Burnley vs Newcastle
    The Monday Night Football game for tonight is a clash with permutations for teams near the bottom of the table when Burnley welcome Newcastle to Turf Moor for this 8pm kick-off. Both teams are just 1 point above the relegation zone with the visitors hoping to make it three league wins on the trot.
    Burnley have endured a rollercoaster season already. A campaign that begin months earlier than their league rivals saw them experience the highs and lows of Europa League football without ever reaching the group stage. 1 draw and 4 defeats from their first 5 league games got their league campaign off to a terrible start but an unbeaten run of three games calmed the nerves. However, it's now 5 league games without a win and the fans are starting to worry.
    Newcastle appear to be a team that are facing the inevitable with critical investment from Mike Ashley still not apparent and Rafa Benitez appearing to be a manager losing patience. The Toon Army had no win in their first 10 league games but the first victory on 3rd November in a 1-0 win at home to Watford was followed by a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth. The question now is can they do it on the road?
    A disconcerting stat for Newcastle fans is that their last 12 matches on a Monday night have all been away from home. They have won just 1 of those matches with 11 being losses. That solitary victory away on a Monday came at Stoke back in January... and we know what happened to Stoke last season.
    The Magpies have far from the most entertaining games in the Premier League. Benitez's side have seen the fewest total number of goals scored out of every team in the league. That's 24 goals in their 12 league matches so far. 9 scored and 15 conceded. Don't brace yourself for a thriller. Especially when you see that Burnley have failed to even score in 50% of their league games this season.
    I'm not really sure which way this game will go. I'm swaying more towards a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Neither side looks confident in front of goal and even though Newcastle are looking improved it's a different challenge away from home. Burnley are rarely a side that get turned over at home although Watford, Manchester United, and Chelsea have all won by at least two goals at Turf Moor this season. I still think a low scoring draw is your best bet.

    Another profitable day on Saturday and we move on to the final set of fixtures for November where we basically have a full fixture list in the National League which is where my focus is.
    Chesterfield v Bromley
    Draw!
    Well it might not be as simple as that. Bromley are looking pretty poor at the moment and this does look a very winnable game for Chesterfield who despite their long unbeaten run did slip into the relegation zone on Saturday. They are clearly a better side than that and this is a much easier game than Saturday's. However I did think the Havant game was one they could have won and indeed they should have done, but again their lack of scoring goals was the issue in a 0-0 draw. I am going to back the draw again though because the stats suggest it is the value play yet again. How on earth other tipsters still haven't bothered putting it up I don't know. In this match though I am also going to cover the home win because it is a shade of odds against so would give us a tiny profit if it happened and I struggle to see Bromley winning the match.
    Hartlepool v AFC Fylde
    I have had my fingers burnt a few times when putting up Fylde away from home as they have only one twice and drawn 7 times. I am going to back them again though as I think Hartlepool look vulnerable at the moment. They have lost 5 league games on the bounce including to struggling Dover on Saturday. What probably didn't help was the fact Gillingham took them to extra time in the FA Cup on Wednesday night and I can imagine that game had left a mark. What they need is a week off, but they aren't going to get that and you would hope that Fylde attack them early on as Dover did on Saturday. Fylde scored two goals in the 88th minute to overturn a 1 goal deficit against Boreham Wood on Saturday and they were a bit off their game, but it is always uplifting to win a game in that style and if they could turn this away draws into wins then they might be capable of getting in the title picture. 
    Leyton Orient v Aldershot
    Tuesday nights do tend to throw up some strange results and if Aldershot even get a point in this game it would be one of the stranger ones of the season. They are woeful on the road having won just once and drawn just once scoring just 5 times in 10 games. They even managed to lose at home to Barrow on Saturday and like Hartlepool the FA Cup replay they had which went to penalties might have been behind the lackluster performance. Orient are beginning to look like they might be hard to catch at the top of the table. They have lost just once all season and have conceded just 13 goals all season whilst scoring 42. They got a huge win on Saturday against Wrexham when Bonne got a crucial goal 4 minutes from time. He deserves to be playing in the Football League and there is every chance he will be doing that with Orient next season. Aldershot lost 4-0 to Salford in their last away match and this should be a comfortable night for Orient and they should cover the -1 handicap which looks a cracking bet to me.
    Maidstone v Eastleigh
    I wonder if Maidstone might have one eye on the FA Cup match at the weekend as they weren't great on Saturday when I tipped them up. Granted a sending off didn't help, but they were already a goal down at the time and ended up losing 5-2. They did beat Macclesfield at home in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago, but they have only won once at home in the league all season and I don't expect them to get a 2nd here. Eastleigh are strong away from home and I am beginning to think that they could be play-off contenders as they are creeping into contention. They are 5 games unbeaten now and are playing well. It probably wont be a goalfest, but I do expect the away side to nick it as they are the better side.
    Salford v Harrogate
    I am going to oppose Salford again because as I wrote on Saturday I think they are going to lose a league game sooner rather than later. It could well have been Solihull on Saturday as Solihull did score but it was ruled out. At the time of writing I haven't seen the goal yet, but it was a contentious decision as the ref had to consult with his linesman after originally giving the goal. Harrogate started slowly against Braintree on Saturday, but found their stride after going a goal down and ran out easy 3-1 winners in the end. They are only 3 points behind their hosts on Tuesday with a game in hand and have lost just two games so far this season in the league. It obviously is no gimmie, but I do think they should be shorter than the price they are as I would have them around 2/1 to win this so they are certainly worth a bet.

    Hope you backed that second one. Great odds for that call. Abraham anytime scorer would have fetched a few in too if you opted for that instead of first scorer.

    I can actually see it being a bit of a goal fest, both teams are scoring pretty freely...then again it could be 0-0.
    Might have small bet on Abraham to score 1st @ 9/2 and over 3.5 goals @ 12/5.
