Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 21 Preview

By Sam Elliott

Who will be feasting on three festive points this Christmas? There’ll be no leftovers in sight as the Boxing Day battles begin in the Vanarama National League.

There may have been some disruption to the festive fixture list but some fantastic games are going ahead.

Chesterfield may have been the Christmas number one but with two more rounds of matches coming in 2021, the New Year bells are yet to toll!

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

Aldershot Town vs Woking

There’s nothing quite like the emotions of a local grudge match to burn off your Christmas dinner.

Those who have over indulged the day before will need to be in great shape with the atmosphere always fantastic for the Hampshire/Surrey border clash.

Things have taken a turn in the build up and it’s Aldershot who are suddenly the form side with four wins and a draw in their last five.

Woking continue to be inconsistent and now full-time, their fans will certainly be expecting an improvement on Sunday after just a three point return from their last five outings.

Bromley vs Southend United

The live BT Sport game is sure to be a Christmas character with both embedded in fights at both ends of the table.

Bromley are going for promotion - and have eyes on the main prize. Andy Woodman’s team are just two points off the top and if results go for them on Sunday, we could have new leaders as the cameras roll.

What Southend fans would give for a championship challenge after a number of difficult years.

The Blues are outside the bottom three on goal difference as they hope 2022 has better things in store than 2019, 2020 and 2021.

But they have their work cut out - Bromley have already won seven times at home and Southend have lost seven from eight on the road.

Torquay United vs Yeovil Town

Yeovil Town fans don’t care to remember last Christmas, pictured.

Not only were they beaten by foes Torquay United, they got more of a stuffing than most had dished up on Christmas Day.

But things have changed since the Gulls served notice of their title aspirations.

It’s now Yeovil who are the better placed, loitering just outside the play-off places with Torquay not living up to expectations down in 16th.

Has Gary Johnson got a trick up his sleeve at the club he will always be emotionally attached to?

They are starting to come on strong again - winning their last two in the National League but Yeovil have taken 15 points from a possible 18 and are the division’s form side.

It’s going to be a brilliant Boxing Day!
