Football tips: Eastbourne Borough vs Gloucester City - predictions and betting guide

Competition: England Vanarama National League South
Date: Sat 06.April
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Priory Lane Stadium (5644 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 20th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Gloucester City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
