• Competition: Southern League South Division
• Date: Thursday, 28th March 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub (Walton-on-Thames)

A playoff-hopeful Walton & Hersham will go head to head with relegation contender, Harrow, at Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub in Walton-on-Thames on Thursday evening.

The new owners of Walton & Hersham have brought consistent improvement to the team. They have already achieved three consecutive promotions and are now eyeing a fourth. Presently, the Swans are ranked 6th, a mere point away from the playoffs, despite having played one more game than 5th-placed Merthyr Town. The team’s prospects look promising as they will primarily be competing against mid or lower-ranked teams in the league’s table for the remaining six rounds.

Harrow Borough’s previous season was quite intriguing. They ended up in 19th place and were on the brink of relegation. However, they were given a lifeline when Metropolitan Police voluntarily relegated themselves, allowing Harrow Borough another chance in the Southern League South Division. Sadly, it looks like their luck may have run out this year as they currently sit in 21st place, a whopping 11 points from safety. With just seven matches remaining and some tough opponents ahead, they are now being viewed as one of the main contenders for relegation.

Walton & Hersham vs Harrow Borough pick: Walton & Hersham to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

Walton & Hersham have been performing well, securing seven points and netting eight goals in their past three games. The Swans’ performance has been significantly better throughout the season when playing at home. They boast a 55.6% win rate on their own turf, a stark contrast to their 33% win rate when playing away games.

Harrow Borough suffered consecutive losses against Hungerford and Gosport with a goal difference of 1:7. Given their slim chances of survival, they are likely to abandon the season.

In the last head-to-head game, Walton & Hersham triumphed with a 4:1 victory on the opponent’s turf. Taking into account the form difference and motivation from the previous head-to-head game, we are confident that the Swans will attain a decisive victory against the Boro at their home ground.
