Bitesize Prediction: Bishop’s Stortford vs King’s Lynn – 19/03/24

Competition: National League North

Market: King’s Lynn win

Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS

Looking to drag themselves away from a looming relegation scrap, King’s Lynn will travel to Woodside Park when they meet Bishop’s Stortford on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Bishop’s Stortford might have secured a sixth-tier return this season, they have endured a major National League North struggle this time around. Sat rock-bottom of the table and coming under increasing scrutiny, the Blues remarkably open the midweek fixtures sat 29 points adrift of safety. Breaking a host of unwanted records this season, Steve Smith’s men should be bracing themselves for another tricky test here. In fact, the Hertfordshire-based outfit have collected just 17 points from any of their 37 appearances this year. Last seen over the weekend putting in another nightmare display as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Alfreton, Bishop’s Stortford have lost all of their previous 11 straight appearances across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Smith’s downbeat squad have lost all of their last six contests at Woodside Park by an aggregate score of 19-3.

As for the visitors, while King’s Lynn might have opened the New Year in the midst of their own extended struggle, Adam Lakeland’s side have come roaring back. Last seen over the weekend collecting a 2-1 victory at home against Rushall, the Linnets have come skyrocketing up the National League North standings. Dragging themselves away from a looming relegation scrap and with the mood in their camp at a real high, the Norfolk-based outfit should be smelling a golden opportunity here. Along with winning all of their previous three National League North showdowns by an aggregate score of 6-2, they are also unbeaten in all of their last eight sixth-tier battles on the bounce. Rightfully tipped as a standout contender here, King’s Lynn should also be excited by a rampant record against Tuesday’s hosts. Including a 3-2 win when they welcomed Bishop’s Stortford to Norfolk back on October 24th, Lakeland’s men have won all of their four historic meetings.
