Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 40 Preview

By Sam Elliott

Saturday is Non-League day - but it’ll be the last one for a while for which clubs?

The annual event encourages as many people as possible to get along to their local club and there are sure to be more brilliant attendances this weekend.

As ever, Unibet are across things and have the pick of the weekend action here.

Wealdstone vs Barnet

Nothing much beats a grudge match, but when both teams are doing well and the game is live on TV, it’s some welcome extra spice!

BT Sport will see two of perhaps the unlikely promotion contenders come together, with kick-off at 3pm.

The Stones know finishing in the top seven will be a tall order, they’re one place outside but six points shy - however, they’ve got a spirit that just keeps driving them forward.

Barnet fans are aware it needs a big collapse for them to be shunted out by their old foes but with finishing positions crucial, Dean Brennan wants to keep the points coming.

Oldham Athletic vs Solihull Moors

When Solihull Moors allowed Andrew Dallas to leave for Chesterfield, the club’s owner accepted he was switching from a club who weren’t set for an EFL challenge to one that was.

Three weeks later and Moors have won their last four and have slid quietly into ninth place.

Keep this form up, and they may just come to the play-off party late - and they know from experience what happened to the last club who made a surge in the final few weeks!

But Oldham Athletic, buoyed by great ground news this week, are a different animal too. They’re almost clear of trouble and have beaten promotion challengers Woking and Barnet in the past few weeks.

Whatever happens between now and the end of the season, at least these two knows the last few weeks will inspire confidence for the summer.

Notts County vs Scunthorpe United

According to Luke Williams, this incredible title race we’ve all spoken about is as good as over.

The County head coach all but conceded defeat after dropped points at Barnet last weekend.

The truth, mind games or a wise maneuver to ease the pressure on his players?

Everyone involved in the top two will have their view on his comments but whatever you believe, there’s surely legs in this great chase yet.

Especially if County see to Scunthorpe and get their tails up once again like they have been able to so often this season.

But they face a team scrapping for survival, and one not willing to give it up just yet.

Two wins from their last three matches have seen the Iron throw themselves a lifeline. Rarely out of the bottom four all year, they may finally have the confidence to do it.

But they are dreadful away from home with just one win while Notts have won 14 from 19 in front of their fans.

It’s going to be another massive National League weekend!
