STEVENAGE BOROUGH - ST ALBANS


Broadhall Way is the venue for this Conference league, local derby, tonight.


The contrast in current form between these rivals, could hardly be greater, the visitors have lost 7 from 8, including two against lower league teams, in various cups, conceding 21 goals in the process. The hosts have won 7 in a row and scored a whopping 28 goals in 9 starts, over 3.1 per game.


Boro will be determined to win and keep the pressure on the teams above them in the table, especially with a tough looking trip to Gravesend at the weekend.


It is hard not to see goals also. Stevenage have scored a league high 32 times at home and are "over" in 23 of 30 matches this season.


St Albans are averaging 3.6 goals in their last 10 and have conceded a league high 28 times, "on the road".


The reverse fixture, which took place just 4 weeks ago, unsurprisingly, ended 2-3 to the Boro.


You can pretty much take your choice, the home at 1.54, or the "over" at 1.65. I narrowly favour the home win, but feel both will oblige.


5 points Stevenage -1/2 ball 1.54 Betfair.


Good Luck.
