CARSHALTON ATHLETIC - EASTBOURNE BOROUGH
There is a clear but slim favourite here. Eastbourne Borough is the shortest price on a book of 2.64 / 3.77 / 2.17 (1 / X / 2), an implied 41.7%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 34.3% / 24.0% / 41.7% on an overround of 10.5%.
Money has come for over 2.5 goals: the price has shortened from 1.68 to 1.57, a move of 7.0%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.
Under 2.5 goals has drifted from 2.05 to 2.28 (10.1%). Layers are happy to take that side on, which is worth respecting.
In the league table Carshalton Athletic sit 1st on 6 points (2W 0D 0L) with Eastbourne Borough 8th on 1 point (0W 1D 0L).
Carshalton Athletic read W-W-D-W-W-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (4W 1D 1L) — a strong recent run.
Eastbourne Borough read D-L-L-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 1D 2L) — patchy.
The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead. The late money is pointing the same way.
