After a clean sweep on Saturday, Matthew O'Regan is back on hand with his four best bets in the midweek Non-League slate.
After a season of mid-table consolidation last year, Tonbridge Angels have started this season in great form and remain unbeaten after six games. Jay Saunders' side have kept three clean sheets on the bounce, including an away win at high-flying Farnborough.
A late-season collapse that saw St. Albans win just one of their final eight games, meant that the Saints missed out on the playoffs. David Noble returned to the club in the off-season after a poor stint in charge at Wealdstone, and things have not started swimmingly for the 42-year-old, with his side picking up just one point in the opening six games.
Away from home against an unbeaten Tonbridge Angels side, St. Albans may be in for a long evening in Kent.
Best Bet: Tonbridge Angels to win @ 1.90 - Various
Hereford are another team who have started the season unbeaten, with Paul Caddis' side sitting third in a highly competitive National League North. Wins at Brackley (1-2), Southport (1-4) and at home to South Shields (3-0) have showcased The Bulls promotion credentials. In Tate Campbell, Hereford have one of the best prospects in the league, an exciting midfielder capable of winning games on his own.
Needham Market won the Southern Premier League Central by three points over AFC Telford but have found it hard to adjust to life in the National League North, with long journeys a regular theme. Kevin Horlock's side currently sits in 21st place after gaining just four points from six games, scoring four goals in the process.
Their sole win came on Saturday at Warrington - a game the hosts arguably deserved to win. The Marketmen face a gruelling 400-mile+ round trip on Tuesday evening to Edgar Street.
Best Bet: Hereford -1 Asian Handicap @1.950 - Bet365
After just one point from their opening six games last season, Southport turned to the vastly experienced Jim Bentley to save them. The 48-year-old steered the Sandgrounders to safety and his astute summer recruitment had Southport fans dreaming of at least a top-half finish.
Thus far, it has been an inconsistent season, with Southport winning three games and losing three. An impressive 3-1 home win against Alfreton was followed up by a 2-1 win at Needham Market. A trio of losses to Spennymoor (2-0), Hereford (1-4) and Chorley (4-1) plunged them into the bottom half before a 3-2 win at home to Buxton restored clarity. Southport games this season are averaging four goals, with five of these seeing over 2.5 goals.
In what looks to be a ludicrous decision on the face of it, Farsley Celtic have recently dismissed manager Clayton Donaldson, despite sitting in the top half against the odds - opening the season with six away games on the trot. Celtic, like Southport, have won three games and lost three.
All six of their games have seen three or more goals, for an average of 3.33 per game.
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals @1.80 - Bet365
Scarborough started the season four games unbeaten, drawing 3-3 at Radcliffe, before beating Rushall (3-0) and Farsley Celtic (2-1) at home and Chorley (1-2) away. Since then, they have lost 3-2 at Chester and 1-2 at home to South Shields, but remain in the playoffs. Jonathan Greening's sides games are averaging 3.8 goals, with all six seeing over 2.5.
Kings Lynn enjoyed a torrid 2023/2024 season after finishing league runners-up the season before. The Linnets finished 18th, just five points clear of the relegation spaces, a far cry from the previous campaign. Adam Lakeland's side have started this season strongly and now sit sixth. A full season of prolific striker Johnny Margetts, coupled with Gold Omotayo who was so clinical in his previous spell in Norfolk should set the Linnets in good stead for a prosperous season. Five of their six games this season have seen at least three goals, except a 0-1 win at Marine.
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals @1.85 - Bet365
