- Bedford Town FC's home average goals for and against records across all competitions this season (1.80 and 1.20 respectively) are as follows.
Eagles can be a problem
Bedford Town FC enter Saturday's fixture with Kings Lynn in superb form, after 4 wins and just 1 defeat from their last 5 matches in all competitions. The last 3 matches in particular have shown their bite - a 1-0 home win over Radcliffe Borough, 2-1 away victory at Worksop Town FC and 2-1 away defeat to Spalding Utd. Bedford appear to have a solid platform and should be very competitive in this one.
Kings Lynn's last 2 results have been a bit of a seesaw pair. They lost 2-3 at home to Hednesford Town at the weekend, before beating Chorley 2-0 at home in midweek. The Linnets are also in decent form, with 3 wins and 2 defeats from their last 5. Their 2 defeats came in games where they were perhaps caught out on the break and this fixture could be a similar story.
Linnets can land some blows
Bedford have an average of 1.80 goals per game at home this season, while Kings Lynn have conceded just 1.20 per game on the road. Jesse Nwabueze is the spark in Kings Lynn's team and he has scored 4 of their 11 goals in the last 5. The Linnets have not been as prolific as they'd like this term, but they can get behind the opposition and they'll surely find some joy against a less than mobile Bedford defense.
Bedford's 5 home matches so far have averaged 1.80 goals per game, but they are still yet to concede more than twice. Kings Lynn are a very different beast to the teams they have played, however, with the visitors having scored 6 and conceded 6 on the road so far this term. Both teams to score looks a good fit here at 16/25, while Over 2.5 goals at 7/10 could also come through in a more open fixture than most of the Eagles' home matches.
Eagles are flying high
Despite their excellent start to the season, Bedford are the 47/50 favourites for this match, while Kings Lynn are 51/20 and the draw is 12/5. The hosts have a real platform from which to play and they are at their best when they are compact. Kings Lynn's game is much more direct, they can be the first to hit the ground running with long balls and wide runners. They can put it in the net from distance and, although they are perhaps not as slick as the Eagles, they can force the pace. If Bedford stick to their game plan, they should edge this match or at least avoid defeat, but the odds suggest they could just nick it. It's more likely to be a tough cup game than a runaway, however, and that could mean a tetchy affair as the visitors push forward in search of a result and the hosts look to stay in the contest.
