This may well be the first and last time I bet on Welsh soccer (I've got a few bets pending on the Dutch and French second divisions too...yep, slipping further into full-on degenerate status, but I digress), but I saw a line worth checking out, and after a little analysis, I thought fit to make a decent-sized play on it.
Prestatyn Town +1/2 +121 (at BetPhoenix - it's now at +127) vs. The New Saints -141 (now -147)
TNS won 5-0 at home in their first meeting on August 14, but Prestatyn are unbeaten at home, with five wins and two draws, scoring 15 and conceding just seven.
On the flip side, TNS, while being dominant at home (eight wins, three draws, 32 scored/five conceded) haven't exactly been sparkling away from home. They've got two wins, two draws, and one defeat, and they've scored just four goals in those five away matches. In their last two away matches, TNS have drawn to the teams currently in 12th and 16th in the league table.
Perhaps I could get bitten in the backside with this one, but I like Prestatyn's chances to get a positive result at home.
I've already gotten in my plays for the day's NBA and NHL action, so this my 'for fun' play for the afternoon, so it won't kill me if I lose (provided things go well tonight...knock on wood). But if I come out a winner, I'll be a happy man going into the evening.
