Non-League Predictions > September 17th

[Darran]

Another frustrating day on Saturday when a late Eastleigh goal stopped a profit being made with York ending up being the only winner. Obviously annoying that the Nap's Alfreton were 2 down after 3 minutes. There isn't much action this mid-week, but a couple of bets catch my eye in the two BetVictor Southern Leagues.

Nuneaton v Stourbridge

The home side were one of the favourites for the league, but they look a long way off being champions at the moment. They had seemed to spend a bit of cash on the squad over the summer despite the fact they nearly went bust last season, but I did wonder if they might still struggle given how bad they were last year. They have won just 2 of their opening 7 games with wins over Needham Market and Lowestoft (who are below them in the league) and arguably this is their toughest test yet this season. Stourbridge have been knocking on the door of promotion for a few seasons now and finished 2nd to Kettering last year. Their long-term manager left after the play-off loss to Alvechurch, but the new manager has some in and started very strongly winning 5 of their first 7 league games. They have had a reasonably kind fixture list to be fair and the one time they did face a top half side they lost 3-0 to Hednesford, but then obviously Nuneaton are far from being a top half side at the moment. They have score 17 goals already and Nuneaton have only kept one clean-sheet so far this season. Marathon's 31/25 makes plenty of appeal.

Dorchester v Taunton

Taunton look a good bet to beat Dorchester here. Like Stourbridge they finished 2nd in the league last season although they got off to a very slow start losing their first 2 games 3-0 and 4-0. Since then they are unbeaten though winning 3 and then drawing their last two. They should be more than capable of getting back to winning ways against a struggling Dorchester side. Granted they did win 3-1 on Saturday, but Hendon have only won one game all season and Dorchester's other win came against Beaconsfield on the opening day of the season and they have lost every single game so far. Taunton are much the better side and hopefully they will prove it on the pitch and they look a big price at 131/100 with Marathon.

Stourbridge 2pts @ 31/25 with Marathon

Taunton 3pts @ 131/100 with Marathon
