Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 19 Preview

By Sam Elliott

While a number of National League club go hunting for FA Cup glory, the battle for three points doesn’t stop.

Seven matches are coming our way and some pressure could really be applied.

We see some of the sides at top distracted by a possible place in the third round, the question is who can take advantage?

Every week, new betting partner Unibet will run the rule over the weekend’s main matches in the division.

Dagenham & Redbridge vs Grimsby Town

With Chesterfield, Boreham Wood and FC Halifax all on FA Cup duty, Grimsby Town will want to play while they’re away.

The fourth-place Mariners will want the top three to go into their big games with an extra concern.

Grimsby will be well rested after a free weekend when their game with Wood was called off last Saturday, but after four defeats in five they need to find their form again.

They aren’t alone. Dagenham have lost three on the spin and and the one-time leaders look sure to be without star striker Paul McCallum for a while.

Weymouth vs Torquay United

The season is not panning out anything like Torquay United fans had have hoped.

Last season’s beaten National League Promotion Finalists have suffered an almighty hangover.

Sitting in 17th, Gary Johnson’s Gull have got to get moving if they want another top seven finish. Three back-to-back defeats have left big questions to be answered.

Weymouth may not shoulder Torquay’s level of expectation but they are in the same boat having suffered a trio of tough-to-take losses.

With the Terras conceding 11 goals in that barren three-game run they have to plug the leak or things could become tricky.

Bromley vs Wealdstone

When Andy Woodman’s side do go quiet more often than not they quickly rediscover their voice.

Bromley have taken four points from a possible 12 and go into this one off the back of defeats against Yeovil and Wrexham.

But victory on Saturday could, in fact, put them to within two points of leaders Chesterfield.

But this isn’t the Wealdstone side that they beat last season - Stuart Maynard’s side now look at home in the National League after a tough first season back.

They now sit seven points above the drop-zone and in the past five weeks have beaten Grimsby, Barnet and Dover - as well as claiming a great draw at Wrexham.

It should be another fascinating weekend!
