John Still’s men still appear to have the title in the bag and there are as many 10 teams in behind competing for one of four (three excluding Cambridge) remaining play-off spots.

The Hatters remain 1/200 on for promotion with an 11 point cushion to nearest pursuers The U’s, who did their promotion chances no harm whatsoever with a 2-1 defeat of Welling midweek; cut to 9/4 for promotion with BetVictor.

Halifax Town’s Lee Gregory is creeping up on Hatters’ striker Andre Gray, scoring the solitary goal in the Shaymen’s defeat of Welling at the weekend and netting a hat-trick the week prior at Hyde to close the gap at the top of the scoring charts to just a single goal.

Gray remains the 4/6 favourite with BetVictor upon the arrival of Chester at the weekend, before a trip to Grimsby at midweek with Gregory 5/4 with in what appears a two-horse race.

If Halifax are to sneak a play-off spot it will be down to the striker’s goals; three hat-tricks already this term and ¾ to add to his tally against Alfreton on Monday night.

Despite last week’s hiccup Luton should be able to bounce back and are priced accordingly at 2/7 favourites with BetVictor, Chester 10/1 and the draw 9/2 – lightning couldn’t strike twice, surely?

Luton have won 14 of their 18 league games at Kenilworth Road this season netting 52 goals and with plenty more expected against a defence that has conceded 59 Conference Premier goals already this season.

Gray is expected to make amends for his three game ‘drought’ and should be good for at least a couple, having scored nine in six on home soil in 2014; 9/4 to bag a brace and 9/1 to score a hat-trick with BetVictor.

The Hatters should run out comfortable winners and there is still some juice in the correct score market with 3-0 (8/1), 4-0 (16/1) and 5-0 (33/1) looking fair prices, bidding to add to their already almighty goal difference at the top of the table
