Football – England – National League Betting Tips

The National League Play-Off semi-finals are already upon us as we now head into May, and the first fixture features Aldershot Town taking on Tranmere Rovers at the Electrical Services Stadium with Aldershot having first bite of the home advantage cherry.

Aldershot are currently on a nine-match unbeaten streak overall in the non-league top flight as Gary Waddock’s men have hit solid form just at the right time, while their recent results on home turf have seen The Shots win four of their last five with wins over Sutton United, Dagenham & Redbridge, Dover Athletic and Braintree Town – the first three teams mentioned, being in the top half of the division.

Aldershot finished the regular season with a home record of  15-5-3  38/13 which includes a staggering 15 clean sheets from their rock-solid defensive unit which their success so far has been built upon.

Tranmere Rovers finished runners-up and four points behind National League title winners Lincoln City but Rovers know there’s no prizes for finishing second in this division as they make their way on a long trip down south for the first leg against Aldershot Town.

Tranmere come into this first leg having registered three wins on the trot with victories gained over Guiseley, Southport and Maidstone United, but it’s interesting to note that these recent wins were recorded over bottom half opposition, while they were recently held to a 2-2 draw at Prenton Park by tonight’s hosts, Aldershot Town.

Rovers hold a good away record overall though of  13-5-5  36/20 to date, while they remained unbeaten away at top half opposition this season with a record of  5-6-0  13/5.

This does lead me though to the conclusion that Aldershot can produce a good showing in this first leg.
