Bitesize Prediction: Boston United vs Forest Green – 01/10/25

Competition: National League

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 3/4 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend their stay at the top of the National League table on Wednesday night, Forest Green will travel to Lincolnshire when they meet Boston.

Starting with the hosts, while Boston might have clinched a much-welcomed 2-0 victory against Braintree last week, Graham Coughlan’s men have failed to find any kind of stability so far this season. Opening the midweek fixtures holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, the Lincolnshire-based outfit could find themselves at the heart of another relegation scrap this year. Despite enjoying an impressive National League Cup romp, the Pilgrims have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven showdowns against fifth-tier opposition. With that rut stemming back to August 25th, the former Newport boss will be bracing himself for a stern examination here. Likewise, mustering just a sole National League clean sheet so far this season, Boston also have unpleasant memories against Wednesday’s guests. In fact, pencilled in as a landslide underdog when they return to Lincolnshire in midweek, Coughlan’s men lost their two battles against Forest Green last season by an aggregate score of 5-0.

As for the visitors, although Forest Green might have suffered major play-off heartbreak last season, Robbie Savage’s men haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Enjoying what has been a dominant start, the Green Army are widely regarded as another standout top-seven contender. Getting the midweek fixtures underway leading the chase at the top of the National League standings, Wednesday’s guests will be confident of making another statement here. In what has become a real fairytale at the New Lane, Forest Green have registered 28 points from their first 12 National League appearances so far this year and they have not suffered a single defeat across any competition. Last seen on their travels landing a 2-1 win against Altrincham, Savage’s promotion candidates have also impressed with their performances in the final third. Bagging 21 goals so far this year, only one club among England’s fifth-tier has registered more National League strikes.
