Bitesize Prediction: Braintree vs Weymouth – 19/03/24

Competition: National League South

Market: Braintree win

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Meeting for the second time in the space of just a few days, Braintree will welcome Weymouth to Cressing Road on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Braintree might have suffered play-off frustration last season, Angelo Harrop’s men have their sights firmly set on securing a fifth-tier return in 2024. Last seen over the weekend putting in another professional performance as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Weymouth, the mood around Cressing Road appears to be at a real high. Opening the midweek fixtures leading the chase to clinic a bronze medal finish, the Essex-based outfit will be looking to make another statement here. Enjoying what has been a stunning National League South romp since opening the New Year, Braintree are unbeaten in all of their previous 13 straight appearances. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Harrop’s men have collected 29 points from their last 11 outings. Skyrocketing their way up the sixth-tier standings and also mustering 16 points from their last six National League South battles in front of their own supporters, the Iron are rightfully tipped as a standout contender here.

As for the visitors, eventually falling to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Braintree on Saturday afternoon, Weymouth will certainly be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Almost finding themselves sat in National League South limbo, Bobby Wilkinson’s men have shown some rather glaring issues over the past six weeks. In fact, the Terras have collected just a single victory from any of their previous seven sixth-tier showdowns – a run that stems back to February 3rd. With their recent issues underlined by a 4-1 drumming at home against Worthing last month, Weymouth have gained a reputation for their extended struggles at the back. It should be noted, Wilkinson’s side have recorded just a sole clean sheet from their previous eight appearances. Suffering that toothless 1-0 defeat when they welcomed Braintree to the Bob Lucas Stadium a few days ago, we are expecting a similar outcome on Tuesday night.
