2004-08-28 16.00 CET
Pick: Hereford
Stake: 2%
Odds: 1,80
Final reasons
Title favourites Hereford
has started the new season brilliantly. Tomorrow they face Stevenage who has
had mixed fortunes so far this season. This is a bet recommendation on
Hereford’s strengths rather than Stevenage’s weaknesses. Stevenage is a
competent side that sometimes can perform very well. However, 1,80 on an
impressive an in-form
General comment about the game
The English Conference
league continues on Saturday. We have found special interest in the game
between Hereford and Stevenage. Hereford is one of the favourites to win the
title this year. Last year ended in a very disappointing way. Despite a very
good run in the closing rounds they missed the first place, meaning direct
promotion, to Chester. Then they lost on penalties to Aldershot, who finished
20 points behind Hereford, in the play offs. To this season they are full of
confidence and want revenge for last years dismissal. They have almost the same
squad as last year so they know they have the ability to fight for a top spot.
However, they have lost two regulars from last year; striker Steve Guinan to
Cheltenham (38 goals in his 75 league appearances for Hereford) and defender
Michael Rose. They have made two interesting signings in players with
Premiership experience; goalkeeper Jonathan Gould from Preston and striker Lee
Mills from Telford. Hereford’s start of the season has been excellent. They
have dominated all three games they have played in the league so far, however
“only” collecting seven points. The draw came when playing away to newcomers Crawley
Town. Hereford had many chances to extend their lead and had full control of
the game until the host’s very surprisingly equalised five minutes before full
time. In last game they played away to relegated
Stevenage has big
ambitions. Last season they were big spenders and rebuilt their team. However,
their effort did not have the impact that they hoped for since they had to
settle for a place just outside the play offs. This year they will have better
opportunities since the new boys have had one year to settle down but it may
even so be to soon for them to be a real challenge. They have had mixed
fortunes in the beginning of the season. They started with two straight defeats
against good opposition; Dagenham & Redbridge and Aldershot. However in
last round they showed their potential by winning over Accrington with 5-0.
Also Stevenage can continue with the same starting eleven as last.
