Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 33 Preview

With two-and-a-half months to go, it’s safe to say things are getting tense. Very tense.

We saw on Tuesday night how you just can’t let your guard down for a minute and Unibet have picked out three games to keep a close eye on this weekend.

All your odds across the Vanarama National League are available at Unibet. 18+ begambleaware.org

Bromley vs Dorking Wanderers

Talk about fine margins. These two are sitting just one place on the other side of the dotted line.

Bromley’s is the one at the right end, just goal difference keeping Andy Woodman’s team out of the play-off pack.

Dorking Wanderers haven’t yet been in the bottom four. Their owner-manager Marc White is a lot of things, but silly is not one of them.

He knows it’s a matter of time before his team slip into the relegation zone, unless they can get things together quickly that is. They’ve lost their last four and have scored just once in 2023.

Boreham Wood vs FC Halifax Town

The live BT Sport game may not be featuring a title chaser this weekend but that doesn’t mean promotion talk is off the menu.

Boreham Wood are in a cluster of clubs looking to shoe-horn their way into the top seven and as Grimsby Town showed last year, it’s all about getting in - not where you finish.

Just seven points separate Southend United in sixth and Solihull Moors down in 12th with the Wood clinging to seventh place. Luke Garrard’s team are undefeated in seven in the league but have only won four times at home.

FC Halifax Town are nine points shy but won’t rule themselves out yet, but need to pick things up if they want to be involved in the end of season drama again.

They are second bottom of the form guide and have lost five of their last six matches.

Aldershot Town vs Wrexham

If Wrexham do go on to win the National League, it’ll be hard to argue they’ve not overcome some difficulties along the way.

The injury situation - whether they’re able to call on some good quality replacement or not - would test even the deepest of pockets.

Excellent midfielder Tom O'Connor has just discovered he faces six weeks out. It comes after bad news for Jordan Tunnicliffe, Aaron Hayden, Jordan Davies, Bryce Hosannah and Callum McFadzean in the past month or so.

They haven’t exactly been held back so far, despite the difficult-to-digest dropped points at home to Woking at Fortress Racecourse on Tuesday night.

Wrexham have won eight of their last nine in the National League and have claimed 15 points from a possible 15 on the road.

Aldershot, however, are in their best form this season. It’s just one defeat from nine games in all competitions, and while it may have been a real drag in 2022, a sixth home game on the spin is suddenly very welcome.

At the EBB, they have let in just four goals in the past 540 minutes of football.

Ross McNeilly has been at the club long enough to cast aside claims of a new manager bounce and now just six points off the play-offs, a shock win this weekend will have promotion talk doing the rounds for the first time in a long while.

It’s going to be another crucial as well as exciting weekend!
