The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 156: We're laying Alfreton at home to Solihull at [1.75]
The international break continues to eat away at the domestic football schedule, causing us to turn to the Blue Square Bet North for Monday's Bet of the Day, in which we're laying title favourites Alfreton Town at home to play-off hopefuls Solihull Moors at the attractive price of [1.75].
Alfreton have had an exceptional season to date but pretty much every trend available to look at for this evening's encounter points to them suffering the latest in a recent run of blips.
Having won their first eight matches and got to the middle of March with 20 wins and three draws from 25 games, a fixture pile-up has severely hindered their progress and shows no signs of letting up as they face Corby Town on Wednesday and Droylsden on Saturday.
The Reds have triumphed in only one of their last four outings and equally worrying for fans worried that they are in danger of surrendering the championship to Telford, have been victorious in just one of their five meetings with fellow top-five clubs to date.
Solihull are fifth right now and absolutely flying having gone 18 games unbeaten and come out on top in six successive matches, winning the away ties in that stretch by an aggregate score of 8-0.
They stunned leaders Telford 4-2 on their travels earlier in this campaign and have to be fancied to once again prove a thorn in the side of one of the frontrunners for promotion.
Our bet: We're laying Alfreton at home to Solihull at [1.75], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £13.34. Sign up for a new account now and have your first bet of up to £25 refunded if it loses.
