Competition: National League
Market: Tamworth win
Odds: 11/10 @ BetUS
Looking to extend their stay in the play-off places, Tamworth will welcome Wealdstone to the Lamb Ground on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Tamworth might have eventually finished four points adrift of the play-off places last season, Andy Peaks’ men have their sights set on clinching a top-seven finish this time around. Despite losing three of their opening four National League appearances, the Lambs have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen over the weekend landing a gritty 1-0 victory at home against Yeovil, the Staffordshire-based outfit find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Continuing to climb up the table, Tamworth are desperate to extend their stay in the play-off places. Getting their National League Cup adventure underway with a 2-1 win against Everton’s U21s, Tuesday’s hosts have won five of their previous six appearances across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Peaks’ side have registered 13 points from their last five showdowns at the Lamb Ground across all competitions.
As for the visitors, winning each of their first four appearances across all competitions, Wealdstone certainly laid down what was a sensational early marker. However, last seen over the weekend following to what was an action-packed 4-3 defeat away at Morecambe, Sam Cox’s side have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Signing off August with a routine 3-1 loss at home against Rochdale, the Stones have come tumbling down the National League standings. While their showdown against Scunthorpe might have been abandoned on September 6th, Wealdstone have recorded just a single strike from any of their previous seven fifth-tier appearances. Facing what looks set to be another stern challenge when they travel to the play-off dreamers in midweek, it’s also worth highlighting that the Stones also slumped to a 4-1 drumming when they last travelled to Tamworth back on March 4th.
