Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 3 Preview

By Sam Elliott

Well, it didn’t take long to discover that the National League is going to be pretty competitive again this year!

Two games in, and not a single side still boast a 100 per cent record. Nine of them have four points from six, mind you!

The first summer night under the lights is always special, so here’s out pick of the games - including another live BT Sport broadcast

Gateshead vs Notts County

These two have proved to be great entertainers so far - so will the goals keep coming?

Gateshead have made an eye-catching start, a 2-2 draw at Dagenham & Redbridge was followed up by a breathless game against Barnet, fighting back from 2-0 down to grab a point.

Notts have scored five times already, hitting Maidenhead United for three before a 2-2 draw at Boreham Wood.

With 15 goals scored in the four game so far, surely we’ll see more tonight?

Solihull Moors vs York City

Both teams who loved life at the top of the tables last season want another go and hope to put on a show on Wednesday night.

The live BT Sport game is a first look at this year’s Solihull Moors after they came so close to promotion last time around.

York City did taste play-off joy, at last National League North success following a tricky few years.

They almost had a perfect start on their return, letting a lead slip at Maidstone United after defeating Woking on the opening day.

Solihull will also be thinking they should have more to show for their efforts after Southend United’s sucker punch but four points from a possible six is a solid start.

Chesterfield vs Wrexham

There’s nothing quite like a big early season game to get the juices flowing.

Chesterfield and Wrexham both think they will be involved in the promotion race this season.

They feel each other’s pain after both suffered hard to stomach play-off semi-final agony in May - and they’re not keen to have to go via that route again.

Wrexham won’t be too down about taking four points from their first two games, especially as no other club have registered back-to-back wins in the first two fixtures.

Chesterfield had plenty to contend with as they eventually left Dorking Wanderers with a point on the opening day.

They edge past Aldershot Town on Saturday - but know they will have to be even better if Wrexham are to fall in midweek.

Ollie Palmer’s double sent the away fans wild as the Dragons won this fixture 2-0 back in February.

Now Paul Cook and his team want to underline their improvement and edge towards top spot.

It’s going to be a massive night of action!
