A Sports Betting Pick by Armchair
Football: England, League 2 2009/2010
Saturday, 26th September 26/09/09 - Kickoff 3.00pm
Second-placed Dagenham & Redbridge look to keep their 100% home record intact as they entertain lowly Morecambe (19th) at Victoria Road.
Dagenhem (2nd) Home 4-0-0 15:4
Daggers manager John Still has the luxury of naming what is expected to be an unchanged side following their win at Burton Albion last weekend.
The luck seems to be with Dagenham at the moment as Burton missed a penalty and had Guy Branston sent off, but these are the sort of games a team looks back on if they get promotion – twists and turns indeed.
It’s at Victoria Road though that Dagenham have been invincible thus far, with 4 out of 4 ending in victory, whilst racking up an impressive 15 goals in the process – it’s no wonder they are the league top scorers at home so far this season;
Dagenham Home Games
5-3 v Torquay Utd
5-0 v Shrewsbury Town
3-0 v Lincoln City
2-1 v Chesterfield
The home record stands at 4-0-0, 15/4.
Striker Paul Benson (8 goals) has scored in his last 3 games, ably assisted by Danny Green (3 goals) and Jon Nurse (3 goals) with the ammunition provided by Peter Gain, Scott Griffiths and Joshua Scott (2 assists each).
Benson has started well again this season having had a tremendous return last term notching 19 goals and providing 7 assists.
Mark Nwokeji has been ruled out with a cruciate knee injury but midfielder Tom Kilbey could be in line to make his first appearance this season.
Morecambe (19th) 0-2-2 3:8
By contrast, Morecambe have struggled to find the net on their travels so far; the 4 away games yielding just 3 goals so far, with only bottom-placed Darlington scoring fewer (2).
Morecambe did have a good result at home last week beating Notts County 2-1, however it could have been a very different story with County hitting the post twice in the second half.
Morecambe Away Games
2-5 v Burton Albion
0-2 v Barnet
1-1 v Chesterfield
0-0 v Rotherham
Morecambe’s leading scorer is Phil Jevons (4 goals), with assists being mainly provided by Ian Craney (3).
Midfielder Manny Panther is injured and has been ruled out, along with Fraser McLachlan who twisted his knee.
The Betting Verdict
In short, I expect a comfortable win for Dagenham & Redbridge as they have too much firepower for a Morecambe side that haven’t travelled well so far.
