Redditch United FC vs Quorn: An exciting fixture in a pivotal time of the season
With the Southern League Premier Division Central run-in in full swing, this is a pivotal fixture in the play-off race between two teams who have played some good football this season.
Redditch United FC’s home form has been patchy, with The Reds losing 1-4 to Real Bedford a few weeks ago and only winning 1 of their last 2 home games. However, Quorn have failed to win in their last 2 away matches and have only picked up 1 point away from home recently.
Quorn have been more impressive on the road this season, winning 9 and drawing 5 of their 20 away games, but have conceded 1.90 goals and scored 2.20 on average.
Redditch United are the favourites to take the win at 33/50, while Quorn are the outsiders at 311/100.
Redditch United - A high-tempo pressing team
Matt Fowler’s men are a high-tempo, high-pressing unit with two very similar formations: 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. Both systems focus on suffocating the opposition high up the pitch with numerical superiority in the wide areas. When the ball is won, Redditch will often look to break quickly with the No.10 and striker in two v two situations.
Redditch’s attacking threat comes largely from Fabian Reynolds, a loanee winger who can stretch the play, get to the by-line and deliver quality balls into the No.10 and/or striker. Redditch’s last two games have been draws - a 0-0 draw at Banbury United and a 1-1 draw away at Kettering Town FC.
Quorn - A direct and physical team
Ryan Beswick’s Quorn are a direct and attack-minded side, who have a few similar qualities to Redditch in that they are also a physical unit. Quorn have also recently added a little more defensive organisation to their game, with the game-state becoming more a factor in their performances.
Quorn favour the same two formations as Redditch, but they look to play a more direct game and have a clinical player up top to get on the end of the cross. Jack Duffy has scored 2 of Quorn’s last 6 goals and looks to be a good bet for an anytime goal on Saturday.
Back the draw or both teams to score
While both of these teams are in mixed form, the odds for both teams to score at 47/100 seem generous for this clash. With Redditch’s high-pressing game against Quorn’s physical and direct style, I’m backing both to find the net in an open contest. The win will be hard to call, but I will lean towards Redditch due to their superior home form and their odds of 33/50.
