Day 71: We're backing Vauxhall Motors to beat Stafford Rangers at [2.2]
Serie B leaders Novara were 3-1 victors against Reggina to provide our fourth successive winner last night over in Italy and we've been torn between two teams in our bid to deliver a fifth successful punt in a row - Real Madrid and, umm, Vauxhall Motors.
Both sides are [2.2] and our decision to plump with the Conference North also-rans over the La Liga giants was swayed by two factors - the first being that we prefer to back hosts and the second being that Real Madrid don't actually need to triumph tonight, which is always potentially problematic.
So why Vauxhall Motors? Well, they're facing the joint-worst performers in their division, Stafford Rangers, who have picked up just a point on their travels and been beaten in four of their last five league encounters, the most recent arguably the most humiliating of all as they lost 3-1 at home to Hinckley, another club without an away win.
The Motormen were slow to get into gear themselves this season but are starting to hit form, having gone six league games unbeaten and won their last two at Rivacre Park, which were against Hinckley and Hyde, two other teams struggling at the bottom. We're confident they can make it three on the spin this evening by overcoming the former Conference outfit.
Our bet: We're backing Vauxhall Motors to defeat Stafford Rangers at [2.2], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £12. The same punt pays only £8.33 with William Hill. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to a total of £30 refunded for a week.
