Competition: National League

Market: York City win

Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet

Looking to make it three National League victories on the bounce, York City will welcome Braintree to Yorkshire on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while York might have only just about dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they managed to keep hold of their National League status, Adam Hinshelwood’s men have made plenty of improvements since returning from the summer break. Enjoying what has quickly become a real purple patch since opening up the new campaign, the Yorkshire-based outfit will be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Last seen over the weekend putting in another eye-catching display as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Wealdstone, York should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Signing off August with another 2-0 win against Dagenham & Redbridge, Tuesday’s hosts have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first seven National League appearances. Collecting back-to-back victories for the first time since the end of March, Hinshelwood’s side are rightfully pencilled in as a standout contender in midweek.

As for the visitors, while Braintree might have secured a Nations League return for this season, it appears that they have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their fifth-tier status. Opening proceedings with a routine 3-0 drumming away at Oldham, Angelo Harrop’s men have collected just a single victory from any of their first seven appearances. Forced to settle for an uninspiring 0-0 stalemate at home against Woking over the weekend, Tuesday’s guests have also shown some rather glaring issues in the final third. In fact, the Essex-based outfit have failed to find the net in over 350 minutes of National League action. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Braintree have drawn a blank in five of their opening seven showdowns. Likewise, hit with a 3-0 loss when they last travelled to Yorkshire back in April 2017, we are expecting a similar outcome on Tuesday night.

Bet: York City 2/3 to beat Braintree Town in Tuesday’s National League matchup @ 1xBet
