Ebbsfleet United +137 over West Ham United Under 21’s (Win in Full Time or ML 3-Way)

2:00 PM ET. Let’s talk about Ebbsfleet United, or “The Fleet,” as they are affectionately known by the locals in Northfleet, England. This is the type of side we love to back: one with zero market credibility that is routinely overpriced by bookmakers. Currently sitting at the bottom of the National League table and seemingly destined for relegation, The Fleet has been a disaster this season. They’ve managed just one win, a 1-0 grind against Hartlepool United at home back in September, and they’ve lost their last five games by a combined score of 16-2. Typically, Ebbsfleet is priced at +400 or higher, but today they’re priced like they’re in with a genuine shot against West Ham United Under 21’s. That’s the tell we’re looking for.

West Ham United U21’s is exactly what it sounds like: a developmental squad comprised of young, aspiring players honing their skills under the Hammers’ coaching staff. While these youngsters showed promise in their recent road win against Sutton United in Group Play, this is a different scenario. Sutton beat Ebbsfleet in penalties in a cup match last month, a result the market is likely overvaluing. But this game is no free roll for West Ham U21. The kids are now stepping into hostile territory with genuine expectations to win, a far cry from their usual “nothing to lose” mindset.

For Ebbsfleet, this is an opportunity to salvage pride in front of their home crowd and perhaps spark some momentum in a miserable campaign. The pricing suggests the oddsmakers believe The Fleet is live, and so do we. Ebbsfleet in full-time.
