Boston United were clambering towards safety before a 4-1 thumping at Hartlepool on Saturday hastily brought an end to their winning run. The Pilgrims had won three away games on the bounce, nut were well beaten by Pools, who had not won in eight before the weekend.

The good news for the pilgrims is that survival is very much still in their hands, three points off safety with two games in hand, the first of which comes at home to Southend United on Tuesday evening. Kevin Maher’s side have aspirations of their own, currently sitting one point and out place outside the play-off position. They are in good nick, unbeaten in eight, but will need to start turning draws into wins.

The bet here is Both Teams to Score, mainly inspired by Southend’s recent results. Both teams have scored in every game of the aforementioned eight game unbeaten run, with The Shrimpers scoring two goals in each of their last five games.

Boston have scored in seven of their last nine games, which combined with Southend’s recent scoring spree makes us think this is a good bet. No other team’s games have seen more goals than these two sides over the last five games.

A meeting of two promotion contenders at the Crown Oil Arena, or Spotland as it is known to most of us, and two teams hoping to maintain their position more than anything, with 2nd place York City travelling to play Rochdale, who currently occupy the last play-off spot in 7th.

Rochdale have stuttered over the last ten days or so, collecting just two points from the last nine available, failing to beat two sides in the relegation zone in their last two games.

York City have seen Barnet step on the gas and open up a gap at the top which is now surely insurmountable. They themselves have an eight point gap back to 4th place, and the rest of the season will be about maintaining that gap, and ensuring they’re in good form heading into the play-offs.

Rochdale have scored in their last seven league games, keeping just two clean sheets in the process. The Minstermen have scored in their last 12 league games, keeping just four clean sheets.

Back-to-back wins from Wealdstone have moved them three points clear of the National League trapdoor. They host Aldershot Town, who are in the middle of a decent unbeaten run, going back seven games.

The eye-catching recent signing of Tyler Walker on loan for Wealdstone seems to have given them a boost, recording back-to-back 1-0 victories over Woking and Altrincham, off the back of a brilliant comeback from 3-0 down at home to Eastleigh to draw 3-3.

The Shot’s unbeaten run has been impressive, but their victories have mainly come against teams in poor form. If we take a look at the form table over the last eight games, and compare that against the teams Aldershot have beaten in their unbeaten run, their victories have come against 18th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, and 24th.

Wealdstone are 3rd in the form table over the last eight games, so this is a different level of opponent to the type they have been beating, and we fancy them to be too strong.
