LV BET Preview: The Matchday 36 Stat Pack

By Oliver Osborn

Each gameweek, The National League's official betting partner LV BET provides the lowdown of the key matches across the Vanarama National League. Find out all you need to know ahead of Matchday 36.

Sutton United vs Barrow

When it’s been almost 50 years since you last watched your club play in the Football League, these final few months must seem like a lifetime.

Barrow fans are no doubt enjoying the ride but boy, they’re desperate to get over the line.

Tuesday night’s win over Dover Athletic re-established their seven-point advantage over second-place Harrogate Town.

The countdown is truly on if someone wants to finally unsaddle the long-term leaders.

Should they leave Sutton United with three points then even their most sceptical supporter will start to believe.

But that will be a tall order - the Amber Army have only one defeat in ten and on their 3G they are now a force to be reckoned with, taking 13 points from a possible 15 at home.

Barrow are braced for a tough one - and their manager knows just how much of a threat the south west Londoners pose.

After squeaking past them 1-0 at Holker Street, Ian Evatt described it as their biggest and best win of the season.

If they get another this weekend in front of the cameras, it will take a brave person to bet against them.

Hartlepool United vs Notts County

- Pools have won their last three at home, scoring twice on each occasion.
- County have suffered just one defeat in ten but only 19 of their 51 points have come away from home. They lost at Dagenham on their last road trip.
- The sides drew 2-2 back in November. Wes Thomas’ double rescued a point for Notts at Meadow Lane.

Bromley vs Wrexham
- Bromley are bottom of the form guide after five defeats in their last six National League matches.
- Wrexham have three wins in their last six but did lose at Chesterfield last time out.
- Bromley are the kings of scoring at home. They have 37 at Hayes Lane - six more than anyone else.
- Wrexham have the division’s joint worst away record but have won two of their last three on their travels.

Boreham Wood vs Yeovil Town
- Just two points separate the two teams and Wood will go ahead of Yeovil for the first time this season with a win.
- The home team haven’t lost in 14 matches - they have won six of their last nine.
- Yeovil are without a win in five - this is their worst run of the season. They have lost three of their last four away from home.
- Boreham Wood have drawn their last three at home. They haven’t scored more than twice in front of their own fans since September.

Torquay United vs FC Halifax Town
- FC Halifax are the division’s form side, winning their last four matches.
- Torquay have won just one of their last five fixtures but only three teams have scored more than the Gulls this season.
- Halifax beat Torquay at Plainmoor in January in the FA Trophy but it was a different story in the league as United won 4-2 in Yorkshire.

Top Picks from LV BET
- Hartlepool to beat Notts County.
- Wrexham to win 2-0 at Bromley.
- Over 3.5 goals between Boreham Wood v Yeovil.
- Torquay to be ahead at half-time v Halifax but game ends level.
