Bromley v AFC Fylde

Bromley vs AFC Fylde Preview

Despite not picking up all three points in last weekend's 1-1 draw away from home at Boreham Wood, Saturday's hosts, Bromley, still occupy fourth place and therefore a play-off berth in the National League table prior to this upcoming clash with AFC Fylde who find themselves in early trouble down near the foot of the non-league top flight ladder following last week's disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to York City.

It wasn't the best of starts for Bromley though in the early stages of this National League campaign as the London club were dealt back-to-back defeats in their opening two games, losing away from home at Halifax before being handed a defeat at home by Barnet.

However, Andy Woodman's side are made of sterner stuff and the hosts once again showed their resilience by suffering just one further defeat in their subsequent 17 league matches, and that was a 2-0 loss on the road at the current league leaders, Chesterfield.

10 wins within these 17 games though has helped lift The Lillywhites up into play-off reckoning once again while also being particularly tough to beat on home soil at their RELOC8 EM Community Stadium where the hosts have registered seven wins and just one loss within their opening nine games of this term.

AFC Fylde can only dream of such results at the moment as the visitors also occupy familiar territory in the National League but their environs are the lower reaches of the division where they sit second from bottom in the table and three points adrift of safety ahead of this weekend's action.

To make matters worse, they now face the long road trip down south to take on a solid and confident looking Bromley outfit on their own patch, and having been dealt the joint-highest number of defeats (11) along with Ebbsfleet United and bottom club, Kidderminster Harriers, AFC Fylde look to have a mountain to climb in the nation's capital on Saturday afternoon.

Fylde had previously posted back-to-back wins against Oldham Athletic and Gateshead but their mini revival was short-lived after losing 2-0 at home to York City while results away from home this season have also left a lot to be desired as Chris Beech's side have lost six of their nine away games so far this season.

Goals also look likely to feature in this clash as Fylde have conceded two goals or more in seven of their nine away games while the Over 2.5 goals option has featured in all nine away games this term as well.

Bromley v AFC Fylde Verdict

Four of the last five meetings have resulted in Over 2.5 goals but Bromley should take home the spoils in this encounter.

Therefore, our main bet will be Bromley win @ 1.80

Other side bets worth considering:

Bromley win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.50

Correct Score: Bromley 3-0 @ 15.00
