2025-09-24 - Boston United vs Braintree Town
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: National League
Venue: York Street
Wednesday 24th September 2025, 1945hrs (GMT)
Boston United were handed a 2-0 defeat at home to Boreham Wood in the National League on the weekend but The Pilgrims have a decent opportunity to set the record straight on Wednesday night when they entertain fellow strugglers Braintree Town at their York Street ground.
Boston United had previously inflicted a heavy 4-0 thrashing over Sunderland U21 in the National League Cup but results overall in the non-league top flight so far this season have been rather disappointing.
However, Boston United manager Graham Coughlan will be hoping his side can kick-start their National League campaign with a win on Wednesday night against a Braintree Town outfit who have slumped to four defeats in their five outings on the road this term.
Braintree Town sit in 19th place in the National League table and just two points above their upcoming hosts Boston United ahead of this midweek fixture at York Street and the visitors will be aiming for a third win on the trot in all competitions.
The Iron recorded a 1-0 home win against Nottingham Forest U21 in the National League cup and followed that up with a 3-1 win on the road at Eastleigh in the non-league top flight over the weekend so Stephen Pitt’s side will be in confident mood on Wednesday night.
However, Braintree Town possess a poor away record so far this term of 1-0-4 4/12 with only Gateshead and Truro City recording a worse defensive record on the road this season.
The Betting Verdict
Boston United have won each of the previous two meetings against Braintree Town and the hosts look capable of at least avoiding defeat here on Wednesday night.
The Pick :
Boston Utd 2-1 Braintree Town
