Bury
Bury’s recent league form shows two dominant wins – an 8-0 home victory over Wythenshawe Amateurs and a 5-1 home win against Workington. Both results demonstrate a potent attack that aligns with the model’s 6.5 expected goals, reinforcing the expectation of a high‑scoring game for this pick.
Bromsgrove Sporting
Bromsgrove Sporting’s last two league outings are 2-0 home win over Nuneaton Town and a 2-1 home win against Leek Town.
