Truro City
With the international break upon us, the National League steps up its interest for English fans, and here we have two sides struggling to string anything meaningful together so far this campaign. It will be a close affair, but we believe the home side might just have what it takes to overcome Truro, who make a long trip east of the country.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Braintree Town to Win @ 2.15 - Recent form suggests confidence in a home win. Neither side have looked strong this season by any means, however, Braintree should have what it takes – in therms of the squads quality and also home advantage to win an important three points.
Frankie Terry (Braintree): For a side in the relegation zone, five clean sheets in 17 games is no mean feat, so we have to highlight Terry as a reliable left-back amongst Braintree’s backline. He has also chipped in with two goals, providing a handy goal involved at the right times too.
Will Dean (Truro): It is difficult to point out a solid and reliable player from Truro, with them having one of the worst defences and worst attacks in the league. Attacking midfielder Dean does seem to do a job, however, collecting three goals to his name so far.
