LV BET Preview: The Matchday 35 Stat Pack

By Oliver Osborn

Each gameweek, The National League's official betting partner LV BET provides the lowdown of the key matches across the Vanarama National League. Find out all you need to know ahead of Matchday 35.

Yeovil Town vs. Chesterfield

There’s big interest at both ends of the table on BT Sport on Saturday, but all is not quite what it seems.

Chesterfield are the ones struggling right now - if you were to take a quick glance at the standings, that is.

They may be in the bottom four, but since John Pemberton came in the club are climbing. They’ve won three of his five matches - form Yeovil would die for right now.

The Glovers, in fourth, are without a win in five - and their title hopes are fading fast.

Tuesday night’s 3-0 defeat at Harrogate Town added to their problems but manager Darren Sarll says he expects a reaction.

Only problem is Yeovil have a dreadful record when they are live on TV this season - losing all three so far.

Will they be camera shy on Saturday, or can they prove they still want promotion?

Barnet vs. Harrogate Town
- The Bees midweek defeat at Solihull Moors was their first loss in nine.
- Harrogate also played on Tuesday - a 3-0 home win over Yeovil means they have won six of their last eight matches.
- Both sides have scored in each of Barnet’s last eight home fixtures. They have taken ten points from a possible 12 at the Hive.
- Harrogate have the same record from their last four away games. They won at Ebbsfleet, Hartlepool and Chorley and earned a point from the trip to Aldershot.

Solihull Moors vs. Hartlepool United
- Solihull’s win over Barnet in midweek was their first in seven matches, a run that has seen the slip out of the title race.
- Pools have one defeat in six and have failed to score only once in their last ten outings.
- Moors will be managed by Jimmy Shan for the first time after he was confirmed as Tim Flowers’ replacement on Wednesday.
- Solihull have the joint best defensive record in the division while only Torquay have scored more goals outside the top seven than Hartlepool.

Stockport County vs. Bromley
- A home win would take County to within a point of Bromley - who currently occupy the final play-off place.
- Stockport are six without a win after being denied at the death by Dagenham last time out.
- Only 19 of Bromley’s 56 goals have come away from home so far this season.
- Stockport have won just two of their last seven home matches. They have let in more goals than they have scored at Edgeley Park.

Ebbsfleet United vs. Chorley
- The big battle down the bottom sees 24th place Chorley at 23rd place Ebbsfleet United.
- Fleet have let in 62 goals this season - that’s more than any other side.
- Chorley haven’t won in nine matches and have lost five of their last seven games.
- Ebbsfleet have lost one of their last four home matches - to title chasing Harrogate - but have won only three times in front of their own fans.
