Northern Monkeys
ByAfter the relative success of the weekend, I am folowing up quickly with another double form the BSN games tomorrow night.
Northwich are well undervalued at 1/2 at home to struggling Vauxhall Motor’s tomorrow. This is a typical lower league game that looks closer than it is. The Ellesmere Port side would be well adrift at the bottom of the league if it wasn’t for games played imbalance with their 5/12/17/-34 line. And Andy Preece’s men (remember him? Top 10 all time barnet if I recall correctly.), languishing in midtable at first glance, would be strong playoff contendors but for their 9 point handicap for the usual financial irregularities.
Which is more common in football these days? Adultery or insolvency? Gotta be a close call.
Anyway I digress. I would have this game at 1.4 so happy to get involved.
I am going to pair this up with a new team for BOTW, Stalybridge Celtic. The Celts are up against fierce rivals Hyde United tomorrow night, which although not something I can say I have witnessed first hand, is supposed to be second only to River v Boca.
It is a good job they built the M67 or we might just have ended up with a civil war by now.
Staylbridge are a strong outfit, and once the games even out I would expect them to be sitting in 3rd place rather than their current 8th spot. Hyde on the other hand are struggling mightly this season and have only won once on the road all term. Such a derby often neutralizes any such “home field advantage”, but I expect the Northsiders to come out of this one on top.
8/13 is a good price for such a GD disparity and this completes a nice double at 11/8.
BOTW: 3pts on a Northwich/Stalybridge double at 11/8
