High-flying Exiles back on road again;Blue Square's Alan Alger shares his best bets...
THE clash of the day is at the Broadfield Stadium where thirdplaced Newport travel to table -toppers Crawley Town.
This is another tough away trip for Dean Holdsworth's team after visits to AFC Wimbledon, Luton, Rushden, Grimsby, Darlington and Cambridge - teams that formed the top of the title betting market in pre-season.
The Exiles have eight points from a possible 18 in those matches, which is a decent haul. So I fancy the Welsh side as 3-1 outsiders with Crawley at 4-5. Mansfield Town, who have now slumped from first to seventh in the table in just two weeks, visit a Darlington outfit also struggling for form. Both clubs have failed to win in four matches. Darlington are evens favourites - but I advise you to tread carefully with this one!
Cambridge put in a good show at Fleetwood to put a halt to their losing run. They can stay on the right path here with victory over Barrow at odds of 4-5. Luton have had an extended break since losing at home to Crawley and will be more than happy that the distance to top spot stands at nine points with a game in hand.
Solid And they are 10-11 for the trip to free-scoring Eastbourne Borough, the top scorers in the division.
AFC Wimbledon are priced even shorter at 4-9 against Gateshead and a comfortable win could put them on top. Grimsby also look solid odds-on home favourites at 4-7 for the visit of Southport, who have won only once in their seven away matches.
Wrexham have stumbled in recent weeks but I fancy them to bounce back at Hayes & Yeading where they are attractively priced at our 7-5. BLUE SQUARE TREBLE Kettering (to beat Kidderminster) Cambridge United (to beat Barrow) Wrexham (to beat Hayes & Yeading)
