Leigh - Hereford, English Conference League
2004-09-25 16.00 CET
Pick: Hereford
Stake: 3%
Odds: 1,90
Final reasons
Promotion hopefuls Hereford is heading for their fourth consecutive away victory when they face bottom side Leigh. The history speaks for Hereford who has beaten Leigh on the road on five straight occasions. Leigh did not play well last game and they will probably get an even harder time tomorrow when they face top team Hereford. We believe in the better side and therefore we stake 3% on Hereford to win the match.
General comment about the game
In the Conference League third placed Hereford travels to 20th placed Leigh. Hereford is so far the best away side in the league with 10 points from four games. Also last year Hereford was a very good away side with 14 wins from 21 games. The tradition speaks for Hereford tomorrow since they have five straight wins when playing away to Leigh. After a little down period with some less impressive results Hereford now seems to be back on track. In the last game Hereford beat promotion rivals Aldershot with 2-0. Hereford kick started and made their first goal already after four minutes. Aldershot started slow but began to play better in the end of first half but since the Hereford defence played very stable there was really no threat from Aldershot. In the 90th minute Hereford scored their second goal. To this game Hereford has a doubt over midfielder Jamie Pitman (9 apps, 0 goals).
Leigh has started the new season with only six points from the first nine rounds. The number of points could however been slightly bigger, since they have been unlucky in some games. Especially this was the case against Aldershot where they lost a 3-1 lead to a draw in the dying minute of the game. However these last minute goals sometimes are with you and sometimes they are against you. Last game for instance when Leigh played away to York, they managed to score the equaliser in injury time. York started best and pressed Leigh back into their half but they did not manage to score. In the beginning of the second half however, York was rewarded a penalty which gave them 1-0. After the goal the York side seemed happy as they did not continue to play as good as in the first half. Leigh went forward after the goal but did not create so many chances since the York defence was quite stable. In the end however Leigh could score the equaliser, a result that do not fully correspond to the match, but a game lasts 90 minutes and on this day it was Leigh that was the team that was most aware of this. There are no reports about new injuries or suspensions in Leigh.
