Rest week for us this week. 
I've 'liked' all the winners from last week but will be after the weekend before I get the table up. 

Alfreton v Scunthorpe I put Scunthorpe up last Saturday when they were odds against and they lost to Curzon although they were a bit unlucky to. I watched the first half against Scarborough on Monday and they looked very good, eventually winning the game 4-1. Alfreton allowed Kings Lynn to have 60% of the ball on Monday and I can imagine that they will allow Scunthorpe a lot of the ball here and just try to defend and then hit them on the break. I think Scunthorpe are more than good enough to overcome those tactics though and I'm going to back them at odds on against again to win.   Curzon Ashton v Tamworth Both these sides have got off to very good starts to the season and Curzon are unbeaten having won 3 and drawn 3, which includes that win against Scunthorpe mentioned above. They haven't been creating too many chances of in recent games, but they are being very clinical and they scored with all 4 shots on target on Monday against Peterborough. This is no gimmie as Tamworth look decent as well, but given they are at home I am surprised that Curzon are the outsiders so I for me there is value in backing the home side.   Farsley Celtic v Kings Lynn Celtic were unbeaten going into Monday's game at Chester, but they really struggled in that game only having 2 shots during the 90 minutes. They ended up losing 2-0, but I think they are value to get back to winning ways here. They have drawn all 3 of their home games so far, but they have played Chorley, South Shields and Tamworth and I think Kings Lynn aren't as good as those 3 teams at the moment. I know they finally won on Monday, but I'm not sure it was a sign that they were going to go flying up the table and I just think that Farsley are too big a price to win this.   Eastbourne v Weston-Super-Mare A battle between two seaside towns and one I think might be won by the away side. Eastbourne have really struggled so far this season having only won their opening game against Hampton and they have lost their last 4. There were some signs of improvement against Chelmsford, but this new side just seem to be struggling performance wise. Weston were poor in 3-0 losses to Slough and Farnborough, but were much better on Monday against Hemel and should have won rather than drawing 1-1. I think Weston are a small bit of value to win this.   Welling v St Albans There has been money for Welling and I am not surprised as they had been playing fairly well and just not getting the results, before getting 6/6 points over the bank holiday weekend when they beat Havant and Tonbridge. I watched the 2nd half when I put up St Albans to beat Havant the other week and felt like we had got away with one as I wasn't overly impressed. They have duly lost all 3 games since then against Torquay, Taunton and Bath. Their xG's have been below 1 in all 3 of those games and they just aren't creating decent chances at the moment. Welling come into this full of confidence and I would make them favourites.   Prices from around 5pm on Friday afternoon   Scunthorpe 2pts @ 21/20 with William Hill, Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 10/11) Curzon Ashton 1pt @ 17/10 with William Hill and Bet365 (take up to 6/4) Farsley Celtic 1pt @ 21/10 with Bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 13/8) Weston-Super-Mare 1pt @ 2/1 with everyone (take up to 7/4) Welling 1pt @ 13/8 with Bet365, Betfair, Betfred and Paddy Power (take up to 11/8)

No the national league stream their games for £9.50 a match day though 

Scunthorpe ought to win, but Scarborough are dangerous.

AFC Fylde v Altrincham Altrincham fully deserved to beat Chesterfield on Saturday and I will write more on them in a minute, but it was an impressive performance and it means they are unbeaten. I've been a bit disappointed with Fylde so far as I thought they would hit the ground running after winning the title last season, but it hasn't really happened for them. I nearly opposed them on Saturday where they lost to Hartlepool on the TV. I was only able to watch the first half, but it was very easy for the home side and it highlighted the gulf that Fylde face at the moment against the better sides in the division and I think Altrincham are one of those. I'm always slightly wary about teams backing up after just the 48 hour break otherwise I would have a bigger bet because I would make them slight favs to win this.   Bromley v Southend Bromley have been poor so far and they have yet to win. Arguably they have been fortunate to even get three points on the board. Clearly there is a chance Southend might not even exist in just over a months time, but that hasn't bothered the players too much. I watched them on Friday night against Eastleigh and they were very good and it is clear they want to put on a performance for the fans. The small squad is a small concern given the quick turnaround, but having played on Friday night instead of Saturday should help on that front. They have been backed already and I'm not surprised as I think they will win again.   Chesterfield v Hartlepool I keep reading and hearing that Chesterfield are the best team in the league, while they haven't shown they are on the pitch so far and yet again they were pretty ordinary on Saturday. They managed just 4 shots against Altrincham and the goal, which was from a corner (just as it was against Oldham), was their only shot on target. In the last half hour of the game, where the home side were really on top, they only had 41% of the ball and in the 1st half, where they had more of the ball, they were just as ineffective at creating chances as they were against Oldham. Hartlepool are top of the table and deservedly so as they have looked very good so far. For some reason the home side are being backed even though they are already odds on and that makes no sense to me at all. Right now Hartlepool are the better side and whilst that could change tomorrow, they are a fantastic price.   Kings Lynn v Alfreton Kings Lynn have been pretty woeful so far this season. They have yet to win and have even been fortunate at times to pick up the 3 points they have. They hosted Gloucester last Saturday and even though we have been pretty rubbish ourselves we should have beaten them. They are the only side to have lost to Chester and Chorley got their first win against them on Saturday. Alfreton have been their usual solid selves so far although they will be a bit disappointed to lose 3-2 to a Darlington side who hadn't won prior to Saturday. Hopefully that won't happen again here and they are too big a price not to back against a home side who have yet to get going.   Havant & Waterlooville v Yeovil Havant are bottom of the table and just as per last season they are struggling at home having lost both games so far. They also lost at Welling on Saturday who were picking up their first points of the season. They now have to host a Yeovil side who ought to be challenging for the title and are currently in 3rd place in the table. I'm not surprised they are being backed, but for me the price hasn't gone far enough.   Prices taken from 9pm last night Altrincham 1pt @ 2/1 with Bet365 and BetVictor (21/10 with Hills and Coral and take up to 6/4) Southend 1pt @ 5/4 with Bet365, Coral and Skybet (13/10 with Hills and take up to 11/10) Hartlepool 2pts @ 16/5 with Betfair, Paddy Power and Betfair (Bet365 are 100/30 and take up to 2/1) Alfreton 1pt @ 13/5 with Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 2/1) Yeovil 2.5pts @ 11/10 with Bet365 (23/20 with Hills and take up to 4/5)   Basingstoke v AFC Totton The home side have won their last two matches, but neither were as good as Totton and whilst the number of goals they conceded on Saturday is a slight concern, I still think they will be too strong for Basingstoke and I am surprised they aren't favourites.   Worthing v Weymouth, Swindon Supermarine v Merthyr and Haringey v Enfield I am going to do a treble with three sides who are all a shade of odds on to win. Worthing have looked very good so far and were unlucky to lose the game that they have done. Weymouth have been very in and out so far and were well beaten on Saturday against Chelmsford. I think Worthing will have too much for them. Then we have two sides who are top in their respective leagues (Southern Premier South and the Isthmian Premier) and who currently have 100% travel to sides who have yet to record a point. I think that will continue and with both a shade of odds on I am happy to stick both in a double.   Prices taken at 9.50 this morning AFC Totton 1pt @ 7/5 with Betfred (6/4 with William Hills and take up to 5/4) Worthing/Merthyr/Enfield 1pt treble @ 5.4/1 with Betfred (higher is available with others)

Liverpool (1) 1.20
Hearts (1)    1.50
Barcelona (1) 1.20
 
£20  treble please, thanks

3 from 3 today 

Bromley v Wealdstone I thought Bromley looked miles off it on Saturday against Barnet. They created very little and whilst Barnet's first goal should have been ruled out for handball, they fully deserved their victory. Wealdstone will be very happy with their 4 point return so far having beaten York and drawn at Eastleigh. They look overpriced to me to make it a hat-trick of defeats for Bromley.   Eastleigh v Barnet In quirk in the fixture list the two teams who the above two played on Saturday happen to also play each other on Tuesday. Eastleigh weren't great on Saturday. They created little with only one shot on target and an xG of just 0.42. Just like on Saturday Barnet have been backed already to win again, but I still think their is juice in the price. I was impressed with their performance on Saturday and it was pleasing to see given they are the biggest bet in the outright market. Clearly not many teams win their first 3 games of the season, but I think Barnet are more than capable of doing it.   Oxford City v Chesterfield This really should be a comfortable win for the away side. Granted Rochdale only beat them 1-0 on Saturday, but it could have been more and Oxford created very little with just 1 shot on target. They still look a side miles away from the quality needed and they now host the favourites for the title. Chesterfield have already scored 9 goals in their 2 games and they should be adding to that here against the weakest side in the division. They look well worth backing to cover the -1 handicap.   York City v Altrincham York have had a poor start to the season having lost both games so far and they may well lose again here as Altrincham look to remain unbeaten. They will have been disappointed that they didn't beat Dagenham, but it was superb effort to win at Woking on Saturday. They were very clinical in scoring 3 as they only had 8 shots for an xG of 0.77, but it they showed why they should never have been priced up as outsiders to win the league and with York looking like they need more time to gel I am happy to take them on.   Havant & Waterlooville v St Albans (Wednesday night) I'm still feeling my way with Step 2 and whilst I had a few teams on my shortlist this is the only game which survived the chop. Havant have lost both games so far and whilst they might have been a bit unfortunate to lose on Saturday on the stats, it was another defeat at home in 2023 for them. I am happy to take them on again and whilst we are getting much shorter odds I still think there is value. St Albans beat Weymouth on the opening day and then more than held their own at Yeovil on Saturday when losing 2-1 which is going to be one of the toughest games they play all season. Play like they have done so far and I think they will pick up 3 points here.   Salisbury City v Swindon Supermarine (Southern Premier South) Salisbury were my outside bet for the title and they beat my main picks for the title AFC Totton on Saturday in a really good performance. Amazingly they were put in at 9/4 to start with which was just a crazy price and whilst the market has obviously started to correct itself, I still think it hasn't gone far enough. They play a Swindon side who have lost both games so far and have conceded 11 goals in the process.    Concord Rangers v Hashtag United (Isthmian Premier) As I mentioned in the ante-post preview I can't stand Hashtag United, but you have to put those feelings to one side when punting and I think they are a bet here to beat Concord. Hashtag were involved in a great 2-2 with Dulwich on Saturday which gave a clue that they should be more than capable of holding their own in this division. Concord came down last season, but I don't think they will be in the promotion mix and they looked poor on Saturday against Enfield when losing 3-0. I suspect it could be one of those games that if it was taking place later in the season we would see the prices reversed so hopefully Hashtag can land the points here.   Dulwich Hamlet v Canvey Island (Isthmian Premier) Speaking of Dulwich I make them a bet to beat the other team from Canvey Island on Tuesday night. I'm not sure why Dulwich aren't favourites to win this and they look the better side to me. Canvey did come from 2 down to win 3-2 on Saturday against Haringey which was clearly a good effort and obviously they did very well last season, but whilst it is no gimmie, like I say I don't see why Dulwich aren't favourites so they are the value bet.    Potters Bar v Enfield (Isthmian Premier) No surprise that Enfield have been well backed already, but they look a really good bet. Potters Bar struggled last season after Sammy Moore left and I think they will again this season as well. They lost 5-0 on Saturday at Carshalton and they host and Enfield side who looked very good in a 3-0 victory over Concord Rangers.   Prices from around 7pm on Monday.   Wealdstone 1pt @ 15/4 with Bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill and Betfair (take up to 3/1) Barnet 1pt @ 7/4 with Bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair, Betfred and Ladbrokes (19/10 with Hills and 15/8 with Coral and take up to 6/4) Chesterfield -1 1pt @ 7/4 with Bet365 (take up to 11/8) Altrincham 1pt @ 2/1 with Bet365, William Hill, Betfred and Ladbrokes (21/10 with Coral and take up to 7/4) St Albans 1pt @ 7/5 with Skybet, Betfred and Bet365 (take up to 5/4) Salisbury 1pt @ 11/8 with Betfred and Skybet (take up to 11/10) Hashtag 1pt @ 15/8 with Skybet, Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 6/4) Dulwich Hamlet 1pt @ 7/4 with Paddy Power, Betfair and Betfred (take up to 11/8) Enfield 3pts @ Evs with Skybet, Betfred (BetVictor are 23/20) (take up to 8/11)
