Yeovil Town vs Torquay United

Part two of the south west crossing of swords sees Yeovil Town needing to set the record straight.

Their first defeat in 12 games was hard to take - as is the Glovers glut of suspensions on the horizon.

Torquay’s indifferent season was summed up by their festive fixtures.

Excellent in the defeat of Yeovil, but mistakes cost them dear against Eastleigh as they threw away a lead to lose at Eastleigh. Gary Johnson returns to Huish Park with a job to do.

Notts County vs Wrexham

It’s a meeting of two of the division’s powerhouses caught up in the congestion at the top, anything still goes.

Notts County and Wrexham are still get much in tough going into the New Year.

The Dragons now have won five from six while Ian Burchnall’s team have taken 13 points from a possible 18.

If either are going to win it, a big January could be critical.

Although Notts sit in ninth, they are only five points off leaders Chesterfield going into the weekend. Playing two games less than Wrexham, this is a big game in both clubs’ seasons for sure.

Boreham Wood vs Barnet

So good has Boreham Wood’s season been that this is their second National League game since November 23, and they still remain just two points off top spot going into the weekend.

Luke Garrard’s team are fighting on three fronts - National League promotion, the FA Cup and the FA Trophy.

The demands have helped, not hindered, his experienced side. Wood now have no defeats in nine.

Their last game was against Barnet in the FA Trophy. Tyrone Marsh’s hat-trick made sure they were still going strong into 2022 as a triple threat.

The Bees won’t want to make the same mistakes twice when they meet again on Sunday.

Although they have a ten point advantage over the bottom three, Dean Brennan won’t accept simply staying up and his team have won three from five away from home.

What a weekend it promises to be!
