Tip: Boreham Wood
Odd: 1.72 (Betsson)
The friendly match between Hendon and Boreham Wood promises to be an interesting preparation test for both teams ahead of their respective seasons.
Boreham Wood, which plays in the National League South, will visit Hendon, a team from the Isthmian League Premier Division, in a match that could reflect the difference in level between the two divisions.
Boreham Wood comes into this match with a positive streak, having recently drawn 3-3 against Chelsea U21 in an exciting game where Charlie O’Connell shined with a hat-trick. Additionally, Boreham Wood had two defeats against Watford and Arsenal U21, where Boreham Wood showed flashes of quality despite the results. They also achieved two victories, with scores of 2-0 and 1-2, suggesting an ability to overcome teams of similar or lower level.
O’Connell's performance is particularly promising, indicating that Boreham Wood has players capable of making a difference in crucial moments.
On the other hand, Hendon competes in a lower-level league and has had a more limited preseason start. Their only friendly win so far was a solid 0-3 against Enfield Town, showing they can be competitive.
However, their tenth position in the Isthmian League Premier Division last season, with 58 points accumulated in 42 games, reveals an inconsistent campaign, with a balance of 14 wins, 16 draws, and 12 losses. This inconsistency could be a factor against them when facing a team from a higher division.
The difference in competition level is a key factor in this prediction. Boreham Wood, playing in the National League South, generally faces stronger opponents and has a squad with greater depth and quality. This gives them a theoretical advantage over Hendon. Additionally, Boreham Wood's recent positive form, unbeaten in their last three matches, adds a level of confidence and momentum that could be decisive in this friendly.
In conclusion, Boreham Wood seems better prepared and in better shape for this friendly match against Hendon. Their recent performance and the higher level of their league suggest they have a good chance of emerging victorious. Therefore, my suggestion is a win for Boreham Wood, with the expectation that their quality and preparation will allow them to overcome Hendon in this matchup.
