Again not tips as such but some stats on winners and qualifiers for these games from RFO today. Based on last 10 seasons of the play offs.
Division 2 has the clearest trends.
In the game between the 1st seeds (whoever finished 4th) and the 4th seeds (7th placed) the 1st seeds have qualified for the final 9 times out of the last 10 match ups. That would be Southend to qualify at Northamptons expense this time.
Likewise 2nd seeds (5th) have knocked out 3rd seeds (6th) 7 times from the last 10 match ups.
Overall thats 16 out of 20 match ups where the higher placed side has gone through.
The 1st seed has gone on to promotion 8 times out of 10.
1pt level stakes on the 1st seed over last 10 years would have yielded a 16.62pt profit.
With this in mind I will have
5pts on Southend to gain promotion at 3.65 with Betfair
Will also try and get matched on Southend to qualify. Looking at laying Northampton who are currently 1.78 to qualify.
Likewise will look to have a small interest in Macclesfield to knock out Lincoln. Market pretty dead on
Betfair at present with the Macc price 1.87 - 2.30
Would be interested in any team news or anything that could explain why given the past 10 seasons trends Northampton are favoured over Southend on
Betfair.
