Barrow vs Notts County

- Leaders Barrow host Notts County this Saturday. They have won three of their last six games and hold a five-point lead at the top of the table.
- Barrow have the best home record in the whole division and are unbeaten at Progression Solicitors Stadium since September. They have only conceded 13 goals at home, the fewest in the League.

- Barrow won the first meeting 3-0 in Nottingham, with John Rooney on the scoresheet. The midfielder is now on 17 goals for the season.

Harrogate Town vs Bromley

- Second place Harrogate welcome Bromley, fresh off a dramatic 4-3 victory at Chesterfield on Tuesday. Jack Muldoon scored the winner, his 13th goal of the season.
- Harrogate are on an excellent run of form and have only lost one of their last ten games. They also have the second best home record, after Barrow.
- Bromley are only three points off the Playoffs but haven’t won in eight games, in a run of seven defeats and one draw.

Dover Athletic vs Yeovil Town

- Yeovil’s 3-0 victory over Wrexham on Saturday was their first win in seven games. With 17-goal striker Rhys Murphy likely to be out for the season, there is pressure on Courtney Duffus to deliver. Duffus scored his 13th of the season against Wrexham.
