10 September Pick

Conference football tonight

Stevenage V Stafford

Stevenage are in right good form at the moment, despite being down to 10 men against Droylsden, they ran out convincing 3 – 0 winners. They are pushing hard for automatic promotion this year and currently lie in third place, 2 points behind the leaders but with a game in hand. To date they are unbeaten, with a 5-1-1 + 9 goals overall record, and 2-1-0 +4 goals at home.
Stafford are second from bottom with a poor 1 point return from the opening 7 games. It’s a poor return because so far they have faced some of the lower ranked teams such as Farsley, Woking and Halifax and came away pointless.
Last years results read

(2007-02-20) Stafford R. 1-3 Stevenage

(2006-09-09) Stevenage 6-0 Stafford R.

Theres a clear gulf in class here and anything other than a solid home win will be a big surprise. Stevenage are generally available at about 1.3 or so but I think they will cover the handicap so il go for a Stevenage – 1.5 at bet365

PICK
Stevenage –1.5 (1.85 @ bet365) 5 points
