All the odds as Hatters host Nuneaton

Tamworth were, by all accounts, unlucky not to get a point against Cambridge United midweek but that narrow win for the U’s narrows the gap to Luton Town at the top of the Conference Table to just a single point ahead of the weekend Conference clashes, writes Charlie McCann.

The Hatters entertain Nuneaton Town and Boro ended a barren run of seven games with a 1-0 win over Macclesfield Town at Liberty Way last weekend as the visitors have only conceded 18 goals in their 14 away League games so far this season.

Town may have to be patient but they really ought to break down what is likely to be a stubborn resistance from a side who currently sit eighth and are overachievers this term.

The Hatters are 4/9 at BetVictor to maintain their slim lead at the top of the table with Boro 15/2 and the draw at 16/5; John Still’s men are 6/4 to win to nil and that may be the call although, as stated, previously both players and supporters may have to be patient.

Indeed draw half time and Luton full time at 16/5 is likely to be popular.

Dartford entertain Cambridge United and the Darts arrested a poor recent run of form by winning 2-1 at Kidderminster midweek and the hope must be that their recent loan signings from Town Alex Wall and Jim Stevenson can inspire a home win.

Dartford are 9/2 to have Kenilworth Road rocking with the U’s 4/6 and the draw 9/2.

Cambridge’s title challenge is, of course, based on an extremely tight defence and 11 goals conceded in 26 games played is an excellent achievement although it is functional rather than beautiful football.

The U’s last six Conference games have seen two or fewer goals scored and under 2.5 goals at 4/5 might be the call again.

After the trip to Dartford, 11 of Cambridge’s last 19 games will be at the Abbey Stadium and lets hope they fail to pick up all three points at the weekend; the U’s are 6/4 second favourites for the title behind John Still’s men who are 4/7.
