Kidderminster face the trickiest of trips to Boreham Wood on Saturday where they come up against a side still scrapping to avoid being caught up in a relegation fight.

Indeed, the degree of difficulty associated with Kidderminster's task is reflected perfectly in their starting price: Ladbrokes install them as their unsurprisingly long 4/1 underdogs for what promises to be another tough assignment.

None the less, Stan James's 6/4 odds against the opening period finishing 0-0 has found favour amongst optimistic punters, while the likelihood of it finishing goalless at 90 minutes, rated a 10/1 shot by Coral, has been snapped up by those folks always eager to snaffle an apparent bargain.

Bookies report that punters’ betting patterns suggest they’re not expecting a hatful of goals, an understandable caution which explains the popularity of BetVictor’s 5/2 odds for the game’s total goal minutes to be less than 75. In other markets, Paddy Power post 8/15 about the fixture yielding fewer than 2.5 goals, while punters anticipating a smattering of goals may fancy Boylesports’ 4/6 for both teams to score.

Given each side's ambitions, the stalemate cannot be discounted – Skybet chalk 3/1 against the match draw and if Kidderminster are to retain their National League status, grabbing a point could boost their morale immeasurably. Skybet rate the chances of it finishing as a score draw at 4/1, while Betfred post 13/2 against it ending one apiece. Sponsored by Sportsbookofthemonth.com
