Betting Insights
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.6 and Both Teams To Score at 1.5 are very appealing here, both are essentially the same bet and we're happy to have both sides in play on Saturday, but BTTS is the better side bet.
- Worthing are the slight favorites at 2.32, compared to the odds of 2.82 for the visitors.
- The Draw is 3.55.
- The Shaymen have a record of 1 win and 3 losses from 4 games on the road in the National League and that's the clear crack for Worthing to exploit here.
- Worthing have conceded 7 goals at home (1.40 per game) and Halifax have shipped 6 away goals (1.50 per game), so the backlines of both teams have been giving the opposition plenty of chances to hit the back of the net.
Prediction
We think this will be a close game, but we'll just about lean towards Worthing's home advantage and hotter form .
