Trinity can turn up the heat on Quorn
Quorn were a lively 2-2 draw at struggling Lancaster City yesterday and look to have improved since a 1-0 defeat at Warrington Rylands on opening day. They gave it their all, but there was no end product and their recent results show just two points from their last 5 available.
Gainsborough Trinity are a new-look side under coach Russ Wilcox, who has given them a clear identity since taking over on 1 July 2023. Trinity have won three and lost two of their last five matches, beating Stockton Town 4-1 at home before a 1-0 defeat to Bury. The level of opposition has been high and the results have been mixed, but the players have been on the ball and are clearly in a good place.
Gainsborough have a press-and-transition identity that should suit them on Tuesday as they face a Quorn side that like to play direct and at a high tempo. The Red Rebels will be keen to get men forward on wide link-up play and long throws to hurt the visitors early on, but if they get pinned back, Trinity could get on top of them.
Betting plan has plenty of goal value
Gainsborough are 19/25 favourites to take the win with Quorn at 289/100 and the draw at 131/50, so there's value in the goals market with Over 2.5 at 19/25 and BTTS Yes at 17/25.
Gainsborough's recent form, home and away, suggests a narrow away win in this one, although Quorn's power on set pieces could keep it competitive. Ashton Offler has been a spark plug for Gainsborough, grabbing three of his team's ten goals in the last five games.
