Tonight's National League And FA Trophy Preview

Eastleigh will hope their long trip to Hartlepool brings reward in the night’s only National League encounter.

Both teams believe they have still got enough in the tank to make a push for the play-offs in the coming months and a win for either brings that ambition a step closer.

The Spitfires always score away from home, notching in each of their last 11 games on the road while Pools know a win is crucial if they are to get into the top seven - Dave Challinor’s side have taken only one point from a possible nine.

How will National League South leaders Wealdstone react after defeat at Oxford City last time out?

They move seven points clear again if they can get the better of Billericay.

But the Blues remain the only side undefeated at home and Dean Brennan’s side have lost their last two away games.

Chippenham and Hemel Hempstead’s form is not what they want it to be - both are looking to put that right in Wiltshire later on.

Altrincham are going for five wins in a row tonight - as the club put it, the biggest game in Greater Manchester on Tuesday!

But Blyth Spartans are improving every week and have taken seven points from a possible 12 to give themselves hope of pulling away from trouble.

Just above them are Curzon Ashton, they go to Boston United - themselves looking to strengthen their grip on a play-off place.

In the FA Trophy, National League leaders Barrow want to get the job done at home to Atherton Collieries, while Eastbourne Borough have a demanding trip to Steve Claridge’s Salisbury.

On Wednesday night, Darlington and Solihull Moors face off to find out who plays Harrogate Town this weekend.
