Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 41 Preview

By Sam Elliott

Grudge matches, a live BT Sport game and new life breathed into the title race - there’s plenty to look forward to on Monday!

After Stockport County slipped up for the first time this year on Good Friday, all eyes are on Solihull Moors - who are now on the longest unbeaten run in the division.

The gap could be closed to just three points on Monday - or Dave Challinor’s side may take a giant stride towards the EFL! Here’s what’s ahead.

King’s Lynn Town vs Grimsby Town

After becoming the first team to take three points off relentless leaders Stockport County, Paul Hurst has called for focus from his Grimsby players.

They head to a King’s Lynn Town side who surely must win to have any hope of remaining in the National League next season.

But while they are the toast of the other promotion contenders, they still have work to do themselves.

With the teams below them refusing to give up on a play-off slot, three points are crucial. Grimsby have won four of their last six away games, while Lynn have taken seven points from nine at home.

Stockport County vs Solihull Moors

Their fans deep down knew the day would come - and now we wait to see what the reaction is.

Stockport County’s first league defeat since December opened a few eyes elsewhere.

But one of the title chasers, Wrexham, were frustrated by Solihull Moors - so can they repeat the trick?

Few should be surprised if Neal Ardley’s men take a chunk out of the table toppers. Unbeaten since early January, Moors are ruing a slow start - or they too could be challenging for top spot.

The fixture list hasn’t been kind to them, and Stockport have won nine of their last ten at home. After defeat with ten men at Grimsby, Dave Challinor has called for an instant reaction.

FC Halifax Town vs Chesterfield

The live BT Sport offering brings two sides together who fully intend to be in the promotion shake up.

It may mean extending their season, but FC Halifax Town and Chesterfield fans fully believe they will be in the mix when it really matters.

The Shaymen haven’t given up on the title but nobody should underestimate the power of finishing in the top three.

Home advantage could be critical - and with Halifax far and away the best team on their own turf, Pete Wild knows the importance of this game.

Chesterfield’s Paul Cox probably isn’t so fussed about playing in front of his team’s fans in the play-offs.

The Spireites boast the second best away record in the division behind leaders Stockport County. BT Sport are at the right venue!

Their sticky spell is over - Jamie Grimes and Joe Quigley got the goals to beat Wealdstone last time out. With Friday off, they should be fresh.

The camera will be there to watch it all unfold and you get the feeling it won’t be the last time the focus falls on these two this season
