Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 34 Preview

By Sam Elliott

It’s FA Trophy quarter-final weekend which means one thing - the chasers need to play while the cat’s away!

Stockport County, Wrexham, Bromley, Solihull Moors, Notts County and Dagenham all go into battle with Wembley getting closer.

But there’s no National League let up - and those gunning for promotion need to make sure they give those Trophy hunters something to really think about.

All your odds across the Vanarama National League are available at Unibet. 18+ begambleaware.org

Wealdstone vs Weymouth

The Stones can already sense survival - and Weymouth fans fear the relegation trap door is opening its jaws in front of them.

Wealdstone’s midweek win at Maidenhead United hauled them 13 points clear of trouble.

But after the Terras were torn to pieces at Altrincham on the same night, they have to rediscover their composure and quickly or a National League South return looms large.

The teams drew 1-1 earlier in the season but the Londoners are looking to their highest finish in many years.

One to watch: Rhys Browne (Wealdstone)
Unibet Enhanced Odds: Both to score - total goals over 2.5

Boreham Wood vs Chesterfield

With Stockport County not in league action, Chesterfield know they just have to take advantage.

The relentless leaders are on FA Trophy duty and as the rest await a dip in form from the table toppers they just can’t let the grass grow.

Boreham Wood are by no means out of it but the heavy loss at Wrexham on Tuesday makes things difficult.

However, at home they are very strong.

Luke Garrard’s team have won their last three in front of their fans and haven’t conceded more than one goal in Hertfordshire since September. In fact, they have let in just six at home all year.

Yeovil Town vs Grimsby Town

Grimsby Town fans are wondering what would have been if their team were half as good on the road as they are at home.

At Blundell Park, the Mariners have taken 35 points - winning 11 of their 16 games. No National League side are better on home turf.

But away it’s a different matter altogether. They have taken just 17 points, and have been defeated eight times already.

The latest came at Southend United on Tuesday, but they are still just two points outside the play-offs.

Yeovil Town haven’t exactly been great in front of their fans lately.

Good things don’t come to those who wait. They ended five straight fixtures on the road with a timid 3-0 defeat against Dagenham in midweek.

Their last home win came in December and manager Darren Sarll has demanded swift improvement.

Lenell John-Lewis and John McAtee goals earned Grimsby a win in this fixture in October and they want another.

What a weekend we have ahead!
