NL: (-1) BARNET - Tamworth (1.63 @Pinnacle pre-mail - 1.53 @Pinnacle recorded odds - 1.50 min. odds) 1 point
(current odds: 1.53 Pinnacle)
Well fancied Barnet have lost two of their three away games so far, the second of which on Monday at improved Maidenhead (who have been upping their game when playing against promotion favourites for many years now), but they've looked much stronger at home (1:0 vs Forest Green, 2:1 Southend) - and against much stronger teams than Tamworth as well. Strikers Kabamba and Browne are both still out injured, but with three-goal top scorer Stead up front and the likes of Brunt and Chapman being handfuls themselves, I'm pretty sure Barnet will score at least one or two, if not three or four, today. Tamworth recorded their first win of the season on Monday vs Aldershot (I wouldn't touch these Monday afternoon games with a pole), but not exactly full-strength Aldershot as they decided to start the game without two of their three first-choice centre-backs, both first-choice wing-backs and two key attackers, Corbett and four-goal top scorer Henry. Away from home, Tamworth have lost 0:2 at York (and finished the game without a single shot on target) and shared points away at poor fellow newcomers Boston thanks to a 94th min equaliser - and they're still missing the likes of defenders Digie, Curley and Mollett and midfielders Fletcher and Milnes.
(FT 7:0)
NL: Ebbsfleet - (0) HALIFAX (2.03 @Pinnacle pre-mail - 1.83 @Pinnacle recorded odds - 1.75 min. odds) 1 point
(current odds: 1.85 Pinnacle)
Ebbsfleet have lost four of their five games so far (and shared points in a goalless Monday afternoon draw away at newcomers Braintree who were a better team and hit the woodwork), conceded as many as thirteen goals (the worst defence in the league by far), lost both home games so far (1:2 to Barnet, 0:3 to Woking) and are missing as many as four strikers - Bingham, Odokonyero (both pre-season casualties), Thomas (picked up an injury ten days ago) and Samuel (picked up an injury on Monday) are all still out injured, which leaves literally one striker and many new signings in their shaky defence. Halifax have only played one away game so far (1:1 at Dagenham last Friday), are without a win since the opening day 2:1 home win vs well fancied Barnet and have lost some important players over the summer, but with key midfielder Hoti back from his injury and the likes of Oluwabori and Capello out wide, they really should be clear favourites here.
(FT 0:1)
