    Southend v Solihull Bit disappointed Southend didn't win for us on Tuesday, but I think it highlights that although they are in good form they have mainly been playing the lesser sides in the division. Solihull look primed to be the first team to beat Southend in 10 league games. They are in cracking form themselves and whilst the red card did change the game against Chesterfield last Saturday they were still impressive in beating them 3-2. They also should have beaten Wealdstone easier on Tuesday night. I make them favourites for this and I suspect they will go off as favourites.   Dorking v Maidstone Obviously a huge game at the top of National League South and a Dorking win would be great for us ante-post wise as Dorking would go very short for the title, having said that though I do think Maidstone are worth backing here. Both sides have bene in cracking form and I don't think there is a huge amount between the pair and thus at the prices I think Maidstone are worth backing.   Dulwich Hamlet v Braintree Dulwich have been struggling for a while now. I went to watch them against Eastbourne recently and wasn't overly impressed. They have won a couple of games since then, but they haven't been in great form and look opposable here. Braintree haven't lost in 7 now and their last defeat was to Dorking. Now they have drawn 4 of those games and they haven't always scored as many as they should, but they look a value play here given how both sides are playing.   Ebbsfleet v Eastbourne The home side were very disappointing for us last week losing 4-2 to a Havant side who have been struggling for wins especially at home. Indeed that was Havant's first win in 9 games. Ebbsfleet have blown all chances of a title bid having only won twice in their last 7 games and they were against Hampton and St Albans which doesn't really add up to much. Eastbourne meanwhile have only lost twice in their last 10 and one of those was 3-2 to Maidstone. I would still make the home side favourites, but Eastbourne are too big a price to gain 3 points here.   Alfreton v Curzon Ashton Not really sure what has happened to Alfreton, but they look a shadow of the side they were earlier in the season. Granted they had the best chance against Gloucester on Tuesday, but otherwise there was very little quality on show. They have only managed a couple of wins in their last 10 games. Curzon are unbeaten in their last 5 games and put 3 past Hereford on Tuesday night. They have had a cracking season to be still in the play-off hunt and they look a big price to me here.   Boston v Kettering A fair bit is riding on this game given Paul Cox left Kettering to become Boston manager earlier in the season. Ian Culverhouse has taken over at Kettering and despite sometimes being light player wise they are unbeaten in 6 games now, showing some great fight along the way. I think the players will be determined to get one over their former manager here. Boston have only beaten Farsley and Chester in their last 10 games and whilst there have been signs of improvement it still isn't huge. Kettering for me have a decent chance of getting one over their former manager.   Darlington v Chorley I know Chorley have only lost 4 games all season in the league, but there have been signs of weakness recently. They lost 2-1 to Leamington in their last league game which was 2 weeks ago. Prior to that they had drawn at Farsley and they have only picked up 2 points in their last 10 games. Maybe some time off will help them get back on track, but they have conceded 9 goals in their last 4 games and Darlington are coming out of a poor run of form. They lost 4 on the bounce, but then beat Chester, drew with Gloucester and beat Fylde. They were a bit unlucky not to beat Gloucester as well as they had some good chances to take the lead in the first half. Don't get me wrong I still make Chorley favourites, but the home side are a spot of value.   Solihull 1pt @ 13/8 with William Hill and BetVictor (take up to 5/4) Maidstone 1pt @ 12/5 with Bet365, Paddy Power and Betfair (Hills go 5/2 and take up to 15/8) Braintree 1pt @ 4/1 with William Hill, Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 9/4) Eastbourne 1pt @ 4/1 with everyone apart from 365 (take up to 11/4) Curzon 1pt @ 19/10 with everyone apart from Hills who are 2/1 (take up to 6/4) Kettering 1pt @ 9/4 with William Hill (365 are 23/10 and take up to 7/4) Darlington 1pt @ 23/10 with everyone apart from BetVictor who go 12/5 and 365 who are only 2/1 (take up to 15/8)

    Kings Lynn v Altrincham Kings Lynn were very good last Saturday in beating Weymouth 3-0 and they followed that up with a 0-0 draw at Grimsby on Tuesday night and very few teams have left their with points this season. I can't believe they are such a big price for this given Altrincham haven't won in 12 league games now. They did show a bit of fight last week when coming from 2 down against Woking, but they have only scored 8 goals and conceded 28 in their last 10 matches. Kings Lynn still need a miracle to stay up, but really if they lose this then I think that will be game over because Altrincham are one of the teams they need to catch. I just don't think there is anywhere near as much between the two sides as the bookies have and the home win looks good value.   Woking v Southend This game is live on TV on Saturday and I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw the Southend price as I would have them favourites let alone the 12/5 they are. I was close to making it a max bet, but there are a couple of things which has reduced confidence. The first is Southend's away form as they haven't tended to be quite as good away as they have been at home, but having said that they have only lost to Notts County in their last 6 away matches. That defeat is actually their only loss in their last 10 league games and they have really improved of late. It was a top performance to beat Bromley on Tuesday night as well. I put Woking up as being over priced for the title at the start of the season and it was looking like a decent shout early on as they beat some good teams like Chesterfield. It's been mostly poor since the first couple of months though and they have really struggled for victories. As mentioned above they blew a 2 goal lead against an out of form Altrincham last week and in their last 10 games they have only beaten Dover and Wealdstone. What I will say is they have been creating chances but they just aren't taking them. There is in the back of my mind though that Woking will go and start scoring at some stage and again it just lessens confidence slightly. Even so in my view we are getting huge value about an away win.   Farsley Celtic v Gloucester City (National League North) This is a huge game at the bottom of the table and as much as I hope Gloucester don't lose I have to back the home side. God knows how we are favourites for this game as we have only won once away from home all season and even then it was a fortunate win. We still can't score goals and although we created a little more against Brackley last Saturday it really should have been more than 1-0. Clearly Farsley are no Brackley, but after another change of manager they look to have improved again. They pushed Brackley close in a 3-2 defeat and then last Saturday drew 3-3 against Chorley which was a massive point. That is 5 goals in 2 games and Gloucester have only managed that in their last 10 matches. With home advantage Farsley should be favourites here so they are a value bet.   Walton Casuals v Beaconsfield (Southern Premier League South) The away side look a big price to me here as they have been in good form of late. They have lost twice in their last 6 games but they were by 1 goal against Taunton and Weston who are two of the best sides in the division at the moment, especially Taunton. Then last Saturday they beat Harrow 6-1. Walton have only lost one of their last 5 and did manage a draw against Farnborough, but in their last two games they have only managed draws against Wimborne and Merthyr who are the bottom two sides in the league. I think Beaconsfield have a fair chance of picking up another 3 points here.   York v Morpeth (FA Trophy) Morpeth have done us well in the Trophy this season and the 5/1 for them to win at York looks too big. Their superb run of form has continued since the last round and although they did lose last Saturday they bounced straight back to beat South Shields 1-0 on Tuesday. York have improved since they lost 3-0 to Kidderminster and Bradford and they got their revenge on the latter on Wednesday night when beating them 4-2. Even so this will be a tough game for them and I wouldn't have the away side at such a big price.   Kings Lynn 2pts@ 12/5 with Coral and Ladbrokes (take up to 6/4 and Bet365 are 13/5) Southend 4pts @ 11/5 with William Hill, Betfair, Paddy Power, Coral, Ladbrokes and Skybet (take up to 11/8 and Bet365 are 12/5) Farsley 1pt @ 9/5 with William Hill (take up to 11/8) Beaconsfield 1pt @ 2/1 with Betfair and Betfred (take up to 6/4) Morpeth 1pt @ 5/1 with William Hill, Betfred and Betfair (take up to 3/1 and Skybet are 11/2)

    Stockport v Dover You don't need me to tell you that this should be a home win, but I think there is some value in backing the -2 and -3 handicaps. I think Stockport will go onto win the league although they are set to host Chesterfield on Tuesday night which is a huge game. They just look so good at the moment though that it is hard to see any of the others in contention being able to match them. They have only lost one of their last 10 and have scored 33 goals and conceded just 5 in that spell. The one slight concern is they might ease off when the game is won with that Chesterfield match in mind, but I just don't see how Dover wont be massively outclassed in this game and odds against Stockport beating them by at least 3 goals looks a big price to me.   Curzon Ashton v AFC Telford (National League North) The home side are more than capable of winning this and they do come here off the back of a win against Fylde last week, but Telford are starting to go through the gears now under their new manager and they have had a couple of very impressive wins over Darlington and BPA scoring 8 goals and conceding 0. This game has been priced up on league positions and I certainly think Telford have been under estimated by the bookies here.   Needham Market v Royston (Southern League Central) The home side are in superb form at the moment and as well as being in the FA Trophy still they are also making a bid for the play-offs. They have only lost 2 of their last 10 league games and I think they ought to be odds on to win this. Royston seem to have run out of steam and their 3 wins in their last 10 games have come against Redditch, Nuneaton and Biggleswade which isn't exactly great. They are also the only team Tamworth have beaten in a long time.    Cheshunt v Leatherhead (Isthmian League) This game is a bit like the Curzon v Telford one in that Cheshunt are a decent enough side and Leatherhead are an improving side at the bottom of the league. The problem Cheshunt have had though is they have totally lost their form of late and have only picked up 1 point in their last 5 league games. It's odd because the last league game they won was against 2nd in the table Enfield and they also beat St Albans 3-0 in the FA Trophy. They face Stockport next week which is clearly a big game for them and they don't really have anything to play for in the league anymore. Leatherhead have again improved for a new manager and player additions and as much as Cheshunt are the right favourites with Leatherhead unbeaten in 3 they look capable of getting a crucial 3 points.   Stockport -2 3pts @ 11/10 with Betfair, Paddy Power, Skybet and William Hill (take up to 4/6) Stockport -3 1pt @ 11/4 with William Hill (take up to 9/4) AFC Telford 1pt @ 3/1 with Bet365 and Betfred (16/5 available with Hills but will settle at 3/1 and take up to 2/1) Needham Market 3pts @ 5/4 with William Hill, Skybet and Bet365 (take up to 4/6) Leatherhead 1pt @ 16/5 with Betfair and Paddy Power (take up to 9/4)

    Double I put up York last week, but my god they were awful against Kidderminster and it was a similar story as Bradford Park Avenue also beat them 3-0. Tomorrow they host the side I think are going to win the league in Gateshead. They have scored 13 goals in their last 4 league games and they ought to be adding to that against an out of sorts York. I am putting them in a double with Maidstone to beat Concord. Maidstone in good form at the moment and had an impressive win over Ebbsfleet on Tuesday night. Concord did mange a draw against Dartford on Tuesday night, but they have lost their way and in their last 9 matches Concord have only managed to beat Billericay. I think this also looks a likely away win.   Oxford City v Havant & Waterlooville The xG figures were hinting that Oxford were punching above their weight a bit when it came to their league position and then last week they lost their very good manager to Weymouth. That for me is going to hinder them and although they beat Welling on Tuesday night, Oxford ended up with the smaller xG. It is a slight concern that Havant have only won 2 of their last 10, but they still seem to do better on their travels and although the price is getting towards being no value I still just about make them a bet.   St Albans v Slough I am still happy enough to take on St Albans again here and think Slough offer a bit of value. Slough had a very bad day at the office the last time I tipped them up when they lost 6-1 to Chippenham, but amazingly they had a higher xG in that game and I think it was just one of those things. They ought to have won last week when Billericay happened to equalise with one of their 3 shots. As I pointed out on Tuesday St Albans have been misfiring for a while now and they are worth opposing again.   Kidderminster v Gloucester City There was small improvement from my own team against Hereford on Tuesday and Matt Green should make a difference going forward, but I still think we are going to struggle in the short term especially up against a very good side in Kidderminster. They surprisingly struggled against Kettering on Tuesday in a game I thought they would win quite comfortably. Back at home though and I think they will have a fairly easy time of things against Gloucester. I take them to overcome the -1 handicap.   Leamington v Blyth Spartans Blyth's good run of form continued last week when they got a good win at Alfreton. They have to travel even further south for this one, but Leamington are badly out of form at the moment with it being 11 games now since they last won. At the odds Blyth look decent value to pick up another 3 points.   Gateshead/Maidstone 1pt double @ 5/2 with Skybet and Betfred (2.66/1 with Hills is available but will settle to 5/2 and take up to 2/1) Havant 1pt @ 13/8 with Skybet, Betfair, Paddy Power and Betfred (Bet365 are 9/5 but will settle at 13/8 and take up to 6/4) Slough 1pt @ 2/1 with pretty much everyone apart from Hills who are 11/5 (will settle at 2/1 and take up to 7/4) Kidderminster -1 1pt @ 17/10 with Betfair, Paddy Power, Betfred and Skybet (take up to 11/8) Blyth 1pt @ 2/1 with pretty much everyone apart from Bet365 who are 21/10 (will settle at 2/1 and take up to 13/8)

    Maidenhead v Halifax (National League) The home side have a very good record against the top sides as they did last season and they proved that again on Tuesday night when becoming just the 2nd side to beat Chesterfield in the league this season. They were good value for the win and having beaten Halifax on the opening day of the season they are worth a play at landing the double.   Gloucester v Southport (National League North) I have to oppose my side again we just aren't creating much at all and although we have been more solid at home, Southport have been creating plenty of chances of late and I think they are the toughest side that Gloucester have hosted for a while. The prices are all wrong and I would make Southport favourites.   Kidderminster v York (National League North) I just get the feeling Kidderminster are running on fumes at the moment and they created very little in Tuesday night's defeat at Hereford. York on the other hand have had very little football and this will just be their 2nd league game since December 11th and their first this year. They won in the FA Trophy last week over Slough and they look value here with the fresher legs.   Hungerford v Chelmsford (National League South) The home side seem to have lost their way a little and Chelmsford are still creating a fair few chances, although they do sometimes have a problem in actually putting them away. They are clearly playing well though and look a spot of value here.   Morpeth v Buxton (Northern Premier) The home side did us a great turn in the Trophy last week and I fancy them again at big odds to beat Buxton who really seem to have lost their way recently. The 3-3 draw against Warrington last week was their only point in their last 5 games and as we know Morpeth are in really good form at the moment. Hopefully they can keep the momentum going.   Maidenhead 1pt @ 7/2 with Skybet, BetVictor and Betfred (take up to 9/4) Southport 2pts @ 19/10 with Betfred, Betfair, Paddy Power, William Hill and Coral (take up to 5/4) York 1pt @ 17/5 with William Hill and Coral (take up to 9/4) Chelmsford 1pt @ 21/10 with William Hill (take up to 7/4) Morpeth 1pt @ 12/5 with Bet365, Betfred and Betfair (take up to 7/4)   Other bets (all National League South) Eastbourne to beat Bath 1pt @ 11/5 with William Hill (take up to 7/4) Dorking to beat Ebbsfleet 1pt @ 7/4 with Betfair and Paddy Power (take up to 11/8)Hemel Hempstead to beat Tonbridge Angels 1pt @ 23/10 with William Hill (take up to 7/4)

    These are my tips for this week, not had time to check prices but as always minimum price to take is mentioned.
    Bromley v Solihull Moors
    Bromley still seem off the pace at the moment. I didn't think they performed well against Southend in the TV game on Boxing Day and they followed that up with a loss to Maidenhead. There last 3 league games have seen them record lower xG's than their opponents including when they beat Altrincham 1-0 when their xG was 0.83 and Altrincham's was 2.37. They are clearly under performing at the moment and Solihull are more than good enough to take advantage. Although Stockport edged it in their last league game, Solihull certainly played their part and created some good chances themselves. For me there isn't much between these two sides and when you add in Bromley's recent performances then the away win is a clear bet.
     
    Chippenham v Slough (National League South)
    I am going to continue to back Slough despite the fact they only got a point on Sunday. They outperformed Oxford City again on the xG front getting 1.02 to Oxford's 0.49 and they have every right to fill frustrated by the fact they only picked up 1 point in their two games against Oxford. Chippenham had a very good win over Hungerford, but either side of that they were beaten by Bath and I would have Slough as a better side than Bath. It is also clear that Hungerford just had a bad day at the office especially as they bounced back with an easy win over Hampton in their next game. There is clear value in backing Slough here.
     
    Farsley Celtic v Darlington (National League North)
    The home side have been struggling having only beaten Bradford Park Avenue in their last 8 league games and I think Darlington can be another opponent who gets 3 points against them. Darlington have also only won once in their last 7 games, but they have drawn 4 of those including both games against Spennymoor over the holiday period. The win was also against Fylde and they certainly have the edge for me over the home side.
     
    Potters Bar v Cray (Isthmian Premier)
    Since Potters Bar beat Lewes 5-1 they have failed to pick up a point in their next 3 games. Not only that but they have conceded 4 goals each time including against a poor Leatherhead side. They also lost 4-0 to Enfield in their last game, but on Monday Cray played them and drew 4-4 which was slightly unfortunate as they were 4-2 up at one stage. Cray are scoring goals at the moment whilst Potters Bar are letting them in and there is no reason why Cray should be such a big price.
     
    Tamworth v Royston (Southern Premier Central)
    Tamworth have not had a good season at all and although you couldn't say for certain they are out of the play-off picture given they have games in hand, it is unlikely. They have only picked up 2 points in their last 8 games and I think Royston are just about value to make sure they don't add to that tally here.
     
    Gosport v Walton Casuals (Southern Premier South)
    Gosport won 5-0 in their last game against Salisbury, but they were decimated by various matters and only had two outfield subs on the bench. Gosport had been struggling prior to that and they face a Walton side who have been in very good form. They have lost just 1 of their last 6 and that includes wins over Hayes and Met Police, 2 of the top 3 sides. They look over priced to me to pick up another 3 points.

    I'm a bit surprised that Gateshead have drifted slightly which makes me wonder if there maybe some Covid issues in the Gateshead camp. For example Dagenham have some staff with Covid (they don't mention players having it) and it has meant Dover have come in a bit against them. I mean on all known form Gateshead should win, but could be worth waiting to see what the team news is.

    Some brief thoughts for the next 3 days. Not sure what the prices are now as not got time to check, but as usual a minimum price is added below   AFC Rushden & Diamonds v St Ives (Southern League Central) St Ives in good form and Rushden have had Covid issues which might mean this game does get called off, but if it goes ahead St Ives will have a better chance than the odds suggest.   Poole v Wimborne (Southern League South) Got to chance Wimborne again at a big price although I would still have Poole as favourites.   Maidenhead v Wealdstone (National League) Good win for the home side on Tuesday which was their first for a while and Wealdstone have had Covid issues which has meant they haven't played since losing in the FA Trophy to Needham Market. Looks a good chance for Maidenhead to get back to back wins.   Havant v Dorking (National League South) Granted the home side will want to do better than they did Boxing Day, but Dorking should be favs for this in my view.   Slough v Oxford City (National League South) I mentioned on Tuesday that Oxford were fortunate to beat Slough on Boxing Day and then Slough won easily against Hampton for us. They are a big price again for Sunday's game.   Kettering v Brackley (National League North) I really fancy Brackley here. They have lost just twice all season and Kettering have had Covid issues which hasn't seen them play since beating Leamington 4-0 on 18th December. Leamington had injury issues that day and prior to that Kettering weren't in great form. Shade of odds against looks a big price to me.     St Ives 1pt @ 14/5 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 2/1) Wimborne 1pt @ 4/1 with Skybet, Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 9/4) Maidenhead 2pts @ 6/5 with William Hill, Coral and Ladbrokes (take up to 4/5) Yeovil to beat Torquay 1pt @ 29/20 with Ladbrokes and Coral (take up to 5/4) Dorking 2pts 29/20 with Skybet, Paddy Power, William Hill, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 11/10) Slough 2pts @ 2/1 with Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair, Betfred and BetVictor (9/4 available with Hills but will log 2/1 and take up to 5/4) Brackley 4pts @ 11/10 with William Hill (take up to 4/6) Halifax to beat Grimsby (Live on BT on Monday) 1pt @ 9/5 with Bet365, William Hill and Betfred (take up to 6/4)

    I think it is going to be hard to be bullish about anything whilst Covid is disrupting football so much. I'm hoping that clubs are more likely to get out of league games than they were FA Trophy matches as there were some teams who kept Covid issues very quiet with Enfield only managed two subs against Eastleigh for example. The other issue we are going to have is that training will have been disrupted with those who have had Covid regardless of how ill they were. 
    I have 8 bets over Sunday and Monday.
     
    Aldershot v Woking
    I'm always slightly wary of getting involved in a derby match especially one that is as big as this, but Woking have been off the boil for a while now and they couldn't even beat an understrength Yeovil side in the FA Trophy last week. Aldershot meanwhile have won 4 out of their last 5 in the league and although they were a bit fortunate to overcome Kingstonian in the Trophy last week it did at least keep the good run going. There isn't a huge amount in the price but I think there is enough to warrant a bet on the home side.
     
    Torquay v Yeovil
    I still don't really know how Torquay managed to beat Stockport in their last league game, but what I will say is they do seem to have stepped up their performances against the better sides in the division. This was backed up by the fact they went to Tonbridge and lost 2-1 in the FA Trophy despite the fact the victors had a weakened team out. As mentioned above Yeovil came from a goal down to beat Woking, in the league they are unbeaten in 7 and of course they have the FA Cup 3rd Round to look forward to. They haven't always been the best side in those games, but they keep getting results and I certainly think they are too big a price here as there isn't much between these two at all.
     
    AFC Telford v Chester (National League North)
    Steve Watson was announced as the new Chester manager on Thursday and I think he can get 3 points in his first match in charge. For me they are a better side than their hosts on paper and Telford haven't really improved for their new manager. They had a very winnable game at home to Guiesley on Tuesday and yet they were pretty poor in a 1-0 defeat. I'd make Chester slight favourites here so there is value in the price.
     
    Curzon Ashton v Southport (National League North)
    To be fair to the home side they are proving hard to beat having drawn 5 of their last 9 league games, but they have only won once in that spell, although it was against Fylde. As I wrote on Tuesday ahead of the called off game against Kettering, Southport are flying at the moment and although not as big value as they were on Tuesday they are value again to pick up another 3 points.
     
    Chelmsford v Braintree (National League South)
    An Essex derby between two of the poorer sides in the division, but there are certainly more signs of life in the away side at the moment and I don't see why they are such a big price. No league wins in 9 now for the home side and they have only managed to draw against two other sides around them in the table, Tonbridge and Billericay, in their last 2 games. Braintree have only lost to Havant in their last 4 league games, managing a win against Tonbridge and two draws in the time. I suspect it will probably be a game low on quality, but Braintree should certainly be much closer to Chelmsford in the betting and hopefully they can edge it for us.
     
    Horsham v Lewes (Isthmian Premier)
    The Horsham manager is one of the bosses to have come out and said how badly Covid has affected his side, but they want to play the games as they are desperate for the season not to be null and voided which is completely understandable. He mentioned he might be able to have a training session on Thursday, but that would only have 6 or 7 players and the players haven't kicked a ball since they played a County Cup game against Hastings on the 14th. As good form as they are in that is hardly ideal going into a tough game against a good side. Lewes can throw in the odd stinker as mentioned in the preview below, but they are a side who should end up in the play-offs and they hold the advantage here for me given Horsham's issues.
     
    Potters Bar v Hornchurch (Isthmian Premier)
    Hornchurch have been in good form in recent weeks having lost just two of their last 8 league games. They were against Worthing and Enfield as well so two of the toughest games in the division. They have crept into the play-off picture and I think they will have too much for their hosts who have mainly struggled of late. Potters Bar did manage to beat Lewes 5-1 recently although that was a game to forget for their opponents and I think their other 3 of their last 4 games shows where they are actually at right now. They lost those 3 games and in their last 2 they have conceded 4 both times. One of those defeats was to bottom side Leatherhead as well so it is the away side who are value to win this.
     
    Wimborne v Salisbury (Southern Premier South)
    Another example of how hard it is at the moment to fully know what is happening at each club is the fact the Salisbury, who of course was one of the bets last week, only had 12 available players for the game against Poole. The fact they led twice and then drew 2-2 is of great credit, but I also think it shows how Poole aren't in a strong position at the moment. Wimborne did us a huge favourite on the other-hand last week when they beat Gosport and it showed how much they are improving at the moment. This is potentially a tricker game for them, but the bookies have not surprisingly not caught up with the fact that Wimborne have strengthened and they are worth backing again for me.

    Dulwich Hamlet v Ebbsfleet 4th play 3rd here and I just can't have Dulwich as such big outsiders especially at home. Dulwich have only lost two of their last 10 and played well in a draw against Havant on Wednesday night. Ebbsfleet won 6 on the bounce, but have lost their last two in the league to Maidstone and Oxford City. I'd make Ebbsfleet marginal favourites still, but Dulwich are very much over priced in my view.   Kettering v Boston Boston's away form in the league has been pretty awful, but they managed to win at Brackley in the FA Trophy last week which was a good effort and I am going to give them a chance of beating a Kettering side who have been woeful in their last 2 games. Gloucester beat them easily 3-0 in the Trophy last Saturday and then Hereford beat them by the same score line in the league on Tuesday night. Boston have the better team and I think they should be a bit shorter in the betting.   Biggleswade v Alvechurch Alvechurch are having a great season and have only lost once in their last 10 league games. Last week they beat Peterborough Sports 1-0 and then on Tuesday night they thumped Stourbridge 5-1. They look true play-off contenders and they should be able to pick up another 3 points here. Biggleswade are a solid mid-table side, but they have only won once in their last 7 and I would have the away side shorter in the betting.   Dulwich Hamet 1pt @ 5/2 with Bet365 and William Hill (take up to 15/8) Boston 1pt @ 13/8 with Skybet, Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 5/4) Alvechurch 3pts @ 7/5 with Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill (take up to 11/10)
