Key Players
-
Key attacking threats:
- Luke McCormick is Yeovil’s top scorer this season with six goals in 23 National League appearances, so they will look to him to provide a reliable source of goals.
- Terrell Works has scored four times in 15 games for Braintree and is their most likely goal source, although they tend to have few counter-attacking opportunities.
Betting Insights
- Therefore, the home team are a slight favorite at 2.16, although we feel it is more appropriate to take the higher odds for Braintree at 3.2.
- The 'Under 2.5 goals' bet, priced at 1.67, looks the way to go for this one as both sides have struggled for goals in the latter part of the season.
- Braintree’s recent away results include a 0-0 draw at Woking FC, a 1-0 home loss to Southend United and a 0-0 draw at home to Hartlepool United.
Prediction
This game will probably hinge on whether Yeovil can unlock the visitors’ disciplined low block or if Braintree’s defense can hold out for a point and nick a goal on the counter.
