Unibet's National League North And South Preview

By Sam Elliott

It’s certainly not all about the FA Cup this weekend, you know!

There’s still plenty of juicy National League North and South games to sink your teeth into on Saturday afternoon.

In midweek we saw the pressure applied and a long term leader overhauled. Well, for a while! So who will put on a show while the attention is diverted? Unibet takes a close look.

Dartford vs Braintree Town - National League South

It may have taken someone until the season’s fourth month, but at last Ebbsfleet United have been deposed. Well, for 24 hours anyway!

The relentless Fleet saw Dartford take their treasured top spot after Alan Dowson’s team ruthlessly dismantled Kent foes Welling United on Tuesday.

Only problem is they pinched it back with a tremendous win at Havant & Waterlooville on Wednesday night!

Now it’s the Darts on the pinch and a seventh Princes Park win in a row will see them return to the summit while their title rivals are on FA Cup duty.

But Braintree are so much better this year. Up to fifth, they’ve won their last four - scoring seven in their last two outings.

Kidderminster Harriers vs Darlington - National League North

They may have both been a little erratic in recent weeks but Kidderminster and Darlington don’t see why they can’t be involved in the push for promotion.

Fantastic or full of faults, Kiddy fans can’t quite suss their team out right now.

Showing steel to edge Chorley and Banbury after some set-backs, they unravelled with relative ease at Scarborough Athletic on Tuesday.

The last game at Aggborough before a tough run on the road, Russ Penn needs to see a reaction.

Darlington, as unconvincing as they have been for a while, will return to the top if they beat the Harriers and Brackley fail to topple Kettering in a Northants derby.

Jack Lambert scored a lethal hat-trick at AFC Telford United in midweek to get them back on track and he is really in the mood again.

It ended their four game winless run and the table could have a whole new outlook if they can grab a win this weekend.

Kidderminster - after last year’s heroics - may be a little blue that they aren’t in the FA Cup still enjoying another epic adventure.

But three league points will ease the envy and push them back into the top seven.

What a weekend it’s going to be!
