St Ives can make their presence felt on the counter
This St Ives Town vs Worcester City prediction also considers Worcester’s performances on their travels this season, splitting their last nine away league fixtures with four wins, two draws and three defeats, while their forward players have been in fine form, netting 17 goals on the road in the league.
Cornes has made his team a force to be reckoned with after instilling his own style of football over the last two seasons, one which involves playing with a front three that can interchange positions and deploy a mix of direct and possession-based attacking. Worcester press high up the field to win the ball back in dangerous areas, and their forward depth has served them well, as the results demonstrate.
St Ives are a pacey team that like to play direct and have a similar philosophy to Cornes, preferring to overload the flanks and counter with numbers. Town’s recent form has featured Michael Richens’ goals, with the striker responsible for four of the last five. If you are looking for St Ives Town vs Worcester City betting tips, expect an open contest with plenty of chances at both ends.
