Saturday 6th January 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – National League Betting Tips
Ebbsfleet United’s five-match unbeaten run in the National League came to an end last time out in a 4-2 defeat away at Bromley but they now return to their Stonebridge Road ground to take on third from bottom club Chester, with a solid set of results on their own turf.
Ebbsfleet are unbeaten in their last five at home, and have won four of these five with wins recorded against Leyton Orient, Hartlepool United, Guiseley and Bromley amidst an overall record of 7-5-2 24/13, and having won six of their seven wins over bottom half opposition, they’ll be confident of getting a result over Chester on Saturday.
In addition, the hosts have kept six clean sheets on home turf and they’ll be keen to record another shut-out here no doubt. Ebbsfleet have also scored 2 goals or more on nine occasions in their 14 home matches, and with striker Kedwell (11 goals) along with midfielder Powell (7 goals) in their attack, they look in good shape.
Chester sit third from bottom in the National League and find themselves eight points adrift of safety and Barrow on the back of recording just one win from their last ten matches overall. That rare success came in a 1-0 home win over fellow National League strugglers, Solihull Moors, but three of their four wins this season have been achieved at their Lookers Vauxhall Stadium.
Away from home, Chester have now gone 11 matches without a win, amidst an overall record of 1-7-5 12/23 and although they’ve gained points on the road at Eastleigh, Bromley, Leyton Orient and Guiseley, only one of these recent stalemates was against top half opposition.
In short, Ebbsfleet should grab all three points here.
