Ten-man Kidderminster’s 2-0 home reverse against Aldershot on Wednesday means they’ve won just two of their last seven Vanarama Conference matches but Harriers remain just three points adrift of the play-off places, despite sitting down in eleventh, so there’s still all to play for as the season approaches the half-way mark.

Gary Whild’s men however, aren’t expected to boost their top five hopes this week, Skybet installing them as 10/3 outsiders to collect a maximum haul at high-flying Bristol Rovers, BetVictor’s 37/40 favourites.

Stan James rate the teams at 12/5 to share the spoils, just as they did in their last meeting, at Aggborough in League Two back in 2005. That one ended one-each, a result that’s 6/1 at William Hill on this occasion while Ladbrokes make Kidderminster 16/1 to again relinquish a half-time lead to only land a point and it’s 15/4 (bet365) to be a score draw.

Where the handicaps are concerned, Harriers benefit from a goal start at 5/6 via Winner.com and Whild’s troops can be backed at 2/1 in betway’s ‘Draw No Bet’ market.

Supporters seeking reasons for optimism will note that, like Kidderminster, the Pirates have managed just two victories in seven in the league and that might nudge a few Harriers fans towards Paddy Power’s 5/1 for an away triumph by one.

Elsewhere, in a match that’s 5/6 (Stan James) to see both teams find the net, BetVictor rate Whild’s side at 13/1 to nick it 2-1 and bet365 chalk the visitors up at 15/2 to come out on top despite an even first half.

A match tally of three or more goals meanwhile, is 21/20 at BetVictor and it’s 13/8 courtesy of bet365 for Kidderminster to fire the first of those.
