Saturday’s showdown between Larkhall Athletic and Bishop’s Cleeve at The Plain Ham Ground promises to be an intriguing encounter. The visitors, a projected winner according to the numbers, have been in impressive form against their hosts with four wins out of seven head-to-head matches.

This trend is likely to continue given the home side’s low win probability of 10%. The Plain Ham Ground has not been a happy hunting ground for Larkhall Athletic when facing Bishop’s Cleeve, with the visitors winning four and drawing one of their seven encounters.

Larkhall will likely push to get at least a draw as the numbers suggest - with a 45% chance of a stalemate and only a slim chance of winning. Bishop’s Cleeve have an even better chance of taking all three points with a similar probability.

The match is expected to have fewer than 2.5 goals for the home team and under 3.5 for Bishop’s Cleeve but more than a goal and half in total as the advice is to bet on a combo double chance that results in a draw or Bishop’s Cleeve winning and over a goal and half being scored.

Recent results between both sides have seen Bishop’s Cleeve dominate but Larkhall Athletic are due a positive result having gone a long time without one and the law of averages working in their favour on Saturday afternoon.
