Altrincham Prediction – Can Altrincham keep positive run going?
Mid-table Altrincham will be in confident mood ahead of this Tuesday night clash against struggling Blyth Spartans in this National League North encounter as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 5 matches overall.
A 1-1 draw at home with Kidderminster has been followed up with 4 wins on the trot as Altrincham have collected victories against Curzon Ashton (home), Southport, Curzon Ashton (away) and Leamington which has helped lift Alty away from the lower reaches of the division and up into a more respectable looking 12th place.
With a more favourable goal difference of +8, another three points for Tuesday night’s hosts, Altrincham, would see the home side jump into 9th place and move to within just 1 point of the play-off pack in the National League North, so plenty of incentive for Altrincham here.
In addition, Altrincham possess an impressive home record that stands at 7-2-1 27/10 to date which includes winning 6 of their last 7 matches on home turf.
Blyth Spartans Prediction – Can Blyth win three on trot on the road?
Despite winning their last two away matches on the trot in the National League North, Tuesday night’s visitors, Blyth Spartans, still occupy a place in the bottom three of the division, sitting second from bottom ahead of their trip to Altrincham.
Recent results have produced a mixed return for Blyth as they’ve recorded away wins at Gateshead and Kidderminster but have also fallen to defeats against Southport and Darlington (both at home), so anything could happen here.
However, Blyth Spartans’ away record reads an overall poor 3-2-7 10/25 which includes just 3 clean sheets on their travels as well as conceding 2 goals or more in 9 of their 12 away matches to date this season.
In addition, Blyth Spartans have failed to beat Altrincham away from home in their previous four visits as well.
