Bitesize Prediction: Boreham Wood vs Wrexham – 22/10/22

Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves leading the chase at the top of the National League table, Boreham Wood will host Wrexham on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, extending on their FA Cup adventure last weekend thanks to a thumping display on home soil, Boreham Wood are enjoying an early-season purple patch. Eventually picking up a 5-3 victory against fellow National League outfit Wealdstone, Luke Garrard’s men appear to be one of the leading contenders to claim a play-off spot. Now losing just one of their last 11 matchups across all formats, a run that stems all the way back to August 16th, the Whites have continued to shine with their free-scoring displays in the final third. Including a 3-1 win against Maidstone when opening October, Boreham Wood have won three of their previous four showdowns on home soil. Looking to widen their buffer in the top-three this weekend, Garrard’s high-flying squad could be smelling the chance to lay down another marker.

As for the visitors, eventually extending on their own FA Cup run earlier in the week after a nervy 3-2 victory at home against lower-league Blyth, Wrexham should be glad to return to National League duties here. Last seen on fifth-tier action claiming a remarkable 7-5 win at home against Barnet, the Dragons have continued to gain a reputation for their lively outcomes. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the table and still tipped as a leading promotion contender, Phil Parkinson will now be hoping for his stacked squad to find some stability at the back. It should be noted, Wrexham have failed to record a clean sheet in any of their previous six outings across all formats. Likewise, with five of their previous six showdowns between Saturday’s opponents finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
