The games are coming thick and fast as the season hots up. Matthew O'Regan has his non-league acca paying out just shy of 10/1.
In what could be a crucial six pointer in the National League North relegation battle, Bedford host Oxford City at the New Eyrie.
After storming to the Southern League Central title, Bedford were unfortunately placed in the National League North, meaning longer travel for The Eagles. This means it will be imperative to win home games to survive - something they will be aiming to do on Tuesday night.
Lee Bircham's side sit outside the relegation zone on goal difference, scoring 14 goals and conceding 18. All five of their home games have seen over 2.5 goals, with the home faithful treated to entertainment,
Oxford City are also in a similar predicament to their hosts in terms of longer travel making it difficult. The Hoops are yet to win on the road all season, taking just two points and conceding 12 goals in the process. Their away games have averaged 3.33 goals, with 4/6 and 10/12 total seeing over 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
South Shields have been the stand out teams in the division, sat three points clear at the top with a game in hand. The Mariners boast the best defence in the division, conceding just five times but have also averaged two goals a game, with Cedwyn Scott and Paul Blackett establishing themselves as the strongest front two in the division. Ian Watson's side have scored 2+ in 9/11 games.
Scarborough come into this game off the back of their second defeat of the season - a 4-1 loss at Telford. This loss disrupted a a ten game league unbeaten run, so The Seadogs will be deterred to bounce back. Jonathan Greening's side are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road, conceding 11 in six.
Prediction: South Shields Over 1 goal
Just three points separate the two sides ahead of this crucial promotion clash. Spennymoor come into this game with seven straight wins in all competitions, with their 6-4 win over Merthyr arguably the game of the season. While only 2/6 Spennymoor home games have seen over 2.5 goals, they have scored 12 in 6 and faced an AFC Fylde with a 100% over 2.5 goal record.
The Coaster have been the league entertainers- topping the goalscoring ranks with 28 goals but with 16 conceded. They have won 5/6 away, with these games averaging four goals with goals going in at both ends.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
After a surprise playoff triumph, Dover have picked up where they off of and currently sit on the cusp of the playoffs. Jake Leberl's side play high energy attacking football with their games averaging three goals a game. BTTS has landed in a league high 10/13, including the last eight on the bounce.
Marc White has become renowned for his attacking ethos, with Dorking often involved in high-scoring shoot outs. While games this year have been a bit more understated, BTTS has still landed in 4/6 on their travels.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score
If Folkestone win their three games in hand they will go top of the table - testament to their strong start to the season. Saturday's 2-2 draw with Dulwich Hamlet killed a run of six straight league wins, with the visitors scoring late in stoppage time to break the hearts of ten man Folkestone. The Seasiders have already shown their strength this campaign and remain unbeaten in the league. They have also already beaten two National League South teams in the cup this year in Maidstone (H) and Horsham (A) -showcasing their ability to play up a level.
Lewes are in dire straits, without a win since Bank Holiday in August. The Rooks are sliding down the table at a rate of knots and have lost their last three away games all 3-0. Another challenging away trip faces them midweek.
Prediction: Folkestone win
