Huge Night In Play-Off Chase And Survival Battle
There’s six National League matches coming your way this evening - with 18 precious points there to be won.
Another busy Tuesday night of action is hours away and while the quest to hunt down leaders Barnet pauses, the focus shifts to the race to stay in the division and the fight to make the top seven.
Both those situations go under the microscope in West Yorkshire - and there’s plenty of promotion v survival games to keep everyone entertained.
FC Halifax Town are second in the six-game form guide, only behind the table topping Bees, and look well set for another top seven finish.
What Dagenham & Redbridge would do to be part of the battle at that end of the table. It is now 12 games without a win, a run which has seen them fall into the bottom four. Can they light the fuse to turn their season around?
There’s more right end vs wrong end encounters too. Rochdale host Boston United, whose season has been brought to life with an 11 point return from a possible 15.
Gateshead tackle Braintree Town with both looking to put a weekend to forget to one side.
The Heed have lost their last three and a play-off place that looked promised now requires more points.
Other teams down the bottom have an important 90 minutes ahead against those looking to wedge themselves into the top seven.
Wealdstone’s valiant fightback against Eastleigh showed the north west Londoners have the stomach for a fight.
They travel to Altrincham, who need to repair the damage done by a surprise home loss to Aldershot Town, who look to continue their away improvement at Maidenhead United.
The Magpies are pulling out big results on their travels but their home form of late is a worry.
Form in general is a worry for Sutton United but today’s hosts AFC Fylde have bigger concerns on their mind. The Coasters are third from bottom and are under pressure to get a result after becoming only the second side to lose to Ebbsfleet United on Saturday.
