Non-League - Best Bets

It's a quiet Monday generally, so we've found a few minutes to drop down the divisions in search of a little value to start the week off.

Starting at Curzon Ashton in the Conference North, we fancy Nuneaton to continue a good run as the season begins to wind down.

The hosts have won just twice in eight, and those came against 20th placed Tamworth and 21st placed Gainsborough, so were pretty much the easiest games of the season for them. Running back to Christmas, they have collected just 17 points from 17 matches, which is relegation form.

Nuneaton by contrast have lost just twice in 14, with those defeats coming to Salford (top of the table) and Leamington. They've collected 28 from 14 games now, so are finishing in a hurry. They've actually won five of their last seven away from home.

We have a similar match in the Ryman Premier, as Brightingsea meet Leatherhead.

Brightlingsea have won two from 14 now, with those wins coming against bottom side Burgess Hill (-37 goal difference) and 22nd placed Lowestoft Town (-31 goal difference). They lost 2-0 on Saturday, another side in trouble at the bottom and could represent easy pickings for a Letherhead side in much better form.

The visitors have won seven of their last 12 now, and conceded just nine goals in that spell, so look reasonably well organised.and remain motivated as they chase 5th place for a spot in the play-offs. A win here, one of three games in hand on Margate, would see them just a point behind with a couple of games in hand and just four to play.

The Southern League Premier has seen a small group of teams really dominate this season, and Slough are one of those sides. They are a disappointing fifth despite collecting 87pts already, and that has been as a direct result of poor results against the real cream within the division. Results against sides outside the top 5 have seen them collect 78pts from just 34 matches - a mighty 2.3pts per game.

Slough travel to Hitchin on Monday looking to continue that run as they begin preparations for the play-offs, which should be super tight. They will surely come into this the more motivated of the sides, as the season fizzles out for Hitchin, but is still bubbling nicely for Slough with excitement around the ground that they could get promoted still.
