Unibet's Vanarama National League Matchday 45 Preview

By Sam Elliott

The penultimate weekend is here and with it comes potentially decisive days in the title race, play-off scrap and the battle to avoid being the last team relegated.

As Saturdays go, they really don’t get much bigger than this!

As ever, Unibet have got all legs of the trilogy covered with a preview of Wrexham’s huge game with Boreham Wood to come.

Bromley vs Chesterfield

It’s actually not just three things on the line this weekend, it’s four - Chesterfield are eyeing up a precious top three finish.

With it comes Eliminator immunity, getting the chance to put their feet up before a home semi-final play-off shoot out. But that’s easier said than done, they face a trip to Bromley who are gripping onto seventh spot by their finger-tips.

The Spireites are finding form at the perfect time and Torquay manager Gary Johnson said it was “like playing against 15 men” in their brutal 5-1 midweek win.

Andy Woodman’s team are undefeated in seven but have only won two from nine at Hayes Lane.

York City vs Aldershot Town

The prize for the winner is a stress-free final Saturday but the loser knows a nail-biting last day could well be on the cards. Here’s the deal down the bottom.

Essentially, it all comes down to Torquay United - and if they can find a second wind after Chesterfield knocked the stuffing out of them in midweek.

The gap is three points and it’s as good as over if the Gulls lose at Altrincham.

If York City or Aldershot can claim the three points, it doesn’t matter what goes on in greater Manchester from their point of view.

But putting their Tuesday night disaster to one side, they’re in sensational form and the loser from this one could well be in the firing line come final day.

Maidstone United vs Notts County

The maths is pretty simple when it comes to the destiny of the National League title.

If Wrexham match or better Notts’ results, they’re the champions - and County’s brave title push redirects to the play-offs.

If it is to be done and dusted this weekend, it won’t be a case of Luke Williams’ team losing the championship, but very much the Dragons just winning it.

But with the leaders kicking off late at home to Boreham Wood, they just have to up the heat on them and see what happens.

With very much in-form Torquay possibly needing to beat Wrexham on the last day to stay up, there’s still life in this race yet!

They’re fully expected to see to Maidstone United, who have been pretty much down since February.

They’ve not won a National League game since November and waved the white flag some time ago, but they did hold Barnet to a 0-0 draw in their last home game.

Notts are iffy away from home all of a sudden with just one win in four but very few expect them not to keep things bubbling away at the top - even if it’s very much out of their hands.

What a weekend we’ve got in store!
