Tuesday sees a full slate of Southern League Premier Central fixtures, but one game in particular stands out, with table toppers Real Bedford hosting playoff-chasing Leiston at McMullen Park.
Real Bedford are the pace setters in the division, winning all eight of their eight games as they look to go one further than last year’s playoff heartbreak, being denied in stoppage time and then extra time by Spalding. Rob Sinclair’s side have been relentless, especially at home, scoring 15 goals in four. The Pirates have also scored 26 goals in eight games, prioritising expansive, attacking football – something that often leaves them exposed at the back, keeping just two clean sheets.
Leiston sit ninth, looking to make up the four point gap on the playoffs. The Blues have been entertaining, scoring 15 goals and conceding 14 in eight games. Away from home, their games have seen an average of four goals per match, with BTTS landing in all four. Chris Wigger’s side have scored in 7/8 games, only failing at home to Peterborough Sports.
With Real Bedford the heavy favourites, but showing vulnerability at the back, value could be in backing the visitors to get on the scoresheet. Real Bedford have scored at least two goals in every game so far, conceding in 6/8 - while Leiston have scored in 7/8 games – making this 10/11 bet builder with Spreadex a worthy bet.
