Boston United
- Boston United have won four, drawn three and lost nine of 16 home games in the National League 2025/2026.
- Boston United come into this clash in sizzling form, undefeated in five and having won four in a row, but they face a tricky test against a Tamworth side that are also good when they have the ball.
Tamworth
- Tamworth have won five, drawn three and lost seven of 15 National League road games.
- Tamworth are on a three-game drawing run and winless in their last five National League outings, but they drew on their last away trip and have a decent road record.
Head-to-Head
Tamworth beat Boston 6-5 in an FA Trophy thriller only two months ago.
Key Players
- Lenell John-Lewis is the main focal point of Boston’s attack with 10 goals in 28 National League games.
- Tamworth have an in-form player of their own in Oliver Lynch, who has scored two of his club’s last four goals in the five-game run.
- Dan Creaney has been the main threat for Andy Peaks’ side with four goals in 23 National League matches.
Betting Insights
- Boston United, 1.97, are odds-on for the home win with Peaks’ side listed as 3.44 underdogs and the draw at 3.32.
- Hurst’s men are in good form and have improved at home, having won two and drawn one of their last three at York Street, but the gap is narrow enough for the value to lie with the visitors.
- Over 2.5, at 1.84, is a narrow one to take as both teams have the firepower to create chances in a big game like this - and this fixture can deliver goals and drama.
Prediction
- Peaks’ men are a disciplined, pragmatic unit that have been drilled to defend in a low-block and hit teams on the break.
- Tamworth have scored 20 goals in 15 away games in the National League - a decent record for a mid-table side - and can be a threat when they get the ball on the counter.
- Boston have been much more solid since Hurst’s mid-season appointment, but still have issues at the back so we think there is a good chance this clash will be a thrilling contest with some goals to boot.
