"Eighteen of Prestatyn's last 19 Welsh Premier League games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.558/15 in Prestatyn v Rhyl

Tobias Gourlay's UK tour reaches Prestatyn, where they're not usually short of entertainment on a Friday night

Prestatyn v Rhyl
Friday 19:30

After-party cancelled yesterday. Partick Thistle P Celtic P because of a waterlogged pitch, apparently, and nothing to do with the home side's injury crisis. We'll consider ourselves well out of it, but it is good news for struggling local pie fans.

Before the rain, the sunshine. Our other outstanding bet (in both senses, just this once) paid out after less than half an hour of the lunchtime kick-off. 6-2 United won the Dundee derby in the end, but by that stage we were already supping deeply on the hair of the dog.

Our timeline is now fully recovered. Today's game comes from Wales and it comes today.

Eighteen of Prestatyn's last 19 Welsh Premier League games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals. Thirteen of them even went Over 3.5 Goals. Through 2014, Bastion Road saw 12/15 league games deliver at least three goals and 8/15 go to four or more.

Tonight's visitors are Rhyl, who went through a low-goals blip just before Christmas, but 10/16 of their away matches in 2014 still got Over 2.5 Goals. And if anyone's going to drag them kicking and screaming into the new year and over the goals line, it's Prestatyn.
