Why Ebbsfleet should win Setanta’s favourite Blue Square Premier fixture

Crawley/Ebbsfleet, 7.45pm, Setanta Sp 1, Best Odds, Free Bets

Setanta showed both Crawley versus Ebbsfleet clashes last season and the ratings must have been so spectacular that they have decided to do so again. Here’s why you should back Ebbsfleet to end Crawley’s eight-match unbeaten home run in the league at 10/3 with Bet365 or Ladbrokes:

» Ebbsfleet beat Crawley in both of their televised Blue Square Premier clashes last season.

» The two sides have clashed eight times over the past four years and over that period Ebbsfleet have never been beaten by the Red Devils.

» Liam Diash’s side have turned the corner after a terrible run of form. Fleet had lost five consecutive league games before beating Barrow last weekend. The last time they went lost five straight league games was in 2002-03 and they followed that with a three match unbeaten run.

Who will be this season’s Havant and Waterlooville?

Bet on which Blue Square team get the furthest this year

888sport and Blue Square have opened markets on which team from the Blue Square Premier, South and North will go furthest in this year’s FA Cup.

Torquay, who are second in the Premier and on an eleven match unbeaten run, are worthy favourites at 9/2. They reached the FA Trophy final last season and knocked League One Yeovil out of the FA Cup. They have a good first round draw too, at home to Evesham, a team who are struggling two divisions below without an away win.

However, don’t be put off backing a team just because they have a tough first round clash because whoever goes the furthest is going to have to beat someone bigger than them; Havant beat Notts County and Swansea to earn their fourth round trip to Anfield last season.
