What A National League Weekend We’ve Got In Store!

Just a glance at the table tells you how big the live DAZN game is, enhanced coverage of second place Forest Green Rovers against table topping York City will bring down the curtain on a cracking matchweek.

This week we have seen a rival manager proclaim that the Minstermen “will win it” - but this is a huge test of their four game winning run.

Rovers are actually above York in the six-game form guide with 16 points claimed from their last half dozen matches. It’s set up to be a classic clash of the title titans!

It’s not the only important match on a brilliant weekend.

Third place Barnet have just one win in four and really need victory at Dagenham after slipping four points off the pace.

Yeovil Town are perhaps the surprise package so far and with the team now sitting in the top seven, expectations rise when FC Halifax Town come to Somerset.

Micky Mellon is pleased with Oldham’s progress but will be aware fans are demanding three points at home to Tamworth.

Rochdale have shown the power of recovery after after set backs so far this season and after beating Sutton last time out, they head to Wealdstone, whose campaign now has legs.

Boston United are still without a manager - and without a league win since early September.

But opportunity knocks at out-of-form Woking, who have also not taken three points for well over two months now.

Ebbsfleet United hardly have the winning feeling either. One success so far paints a clear picture and they need to get a run started at home to Solihull Moors.

Altrincham and Southend United fans had hoped to be in the top seven at this point but a victory on Saturday for either can push them closer to their target.

Sutton United’s season is yet to live up to expectations but a home game with Maidenhead United - now back in the bottom four - gives Steve Morison’s team the chance to get back to winning ways.

Eastleigh too are out of sorts since their strong start. It’s a demanding trip to Hartlepool United for Kelvin Davis and his team.

Meanwhile, Gateshead play Aldershot Town while Braintree Town and AFC Fylde both go into Saturday’s match with a great win under their belts.

Altrincham v Southend United
