Bulls are bookies favourites

Hereford United are the bookies favourites to win the Conference Play-offs.

Graham Turner's Hereford United are 6/4 favourites with UK Betting to win the Nationwide Conference play-off finals.

Turner's men travel to 9/2 outsiders Aldershot on Thursday for the first leg of their play-off semi-final, having missed out on automatic promotion by just a single point.

"If there was any justice in football then Hereford would win promotion to Nationwide Three. The Bulls finished a massive 17 points clear of third-placed Shrewsbury and have won their last 11 games," said the firm's football spokesman Grant Williams.

"They are certainly worthy favourites for the end of season promotion lottery and if they can play anywhere near the level they have been over the last couple of months, 6/4 could prove to be a massive price."

Jimmy Quinn's Shrewsbury Town come next in the firm's betting at 9/4 after losing just one of their last eight league games.

The Shrews take on fourth-placed Barnet over two legs, with the London club priced up at 7/2 after winning just two of their last eight matches.

Nationwide Conference Play-Off Winner:

Hereford 6/4
Shrewsbury 9/4
Barnet 7/2
Aldershot 9/2
