Woking vs Altrincham Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper crack at this National League tussle between Woking and Altrincham.

We're looking at two mid-table sides here. Woking sit 11th with 53 points, while Altrincham are down in 15th on 47. Not much pressure either way, which usually means open play.

Woking's been decent at home recently - won three of their last four home fixtures, scoring 2.25 goals a game on their patch. That's a proper attacking return. But they've just lost at York 1-0 and drew 1-1 at Southend, so it's not all plain sailing.

Altrincham? Bit more tricky. They've won five of their last ten games overall, which is respectable. But away from home? Not so hot. Only 20% win rate on the road, and they're conceding 2.0 goals per away game. That's a worry.

Now here's the interesting bit - these two have a cracking history. Nine meetings, and six of them went Over 2.5 Goals. That's 67% of their games. Last time out, Woking won 3-1. Goals galore.

Woking at home scoring 2.25 a game, Altrincham away conceding 2.0 per match... the numbers are telling a story here. Throw in the fact that Altrincham scored in both their last away games, and you've got ingredients for a goal fest.

The Over 2.5 Goals market at 1.70 is tempting. The fair probability sits around 55%, and with Woking's home form and Altrincham's leaky away defence, I reckon the value is there.

Of course, football's never certain. But when the history, the stats, and the current form all point the same way, you've got to pay attention.

Key Points:

• Woking unbeaten in last 4 home games (3 wins, 1 draw)

• Altrincham only won 1 of last 5 away games

• 6 of 9 H2H matches went Over 2.5 Goals

• Woking averaging 2.25 goals per home game

• Altrincham conceding 2.0 goals per away game

The Tip: Over 2.5 Goals at 1.70
