It’s 4th vs 5th on Saturday as FC Halifax Town will host Bromley FC at the Shay.

The Shaymen are two points above the Ravens going into the game and a win for Town would put a five point difference

The league leaders are back at home and they will host Torquay United who will be making one of the longest trips of the season up to Cumbria. Barrow have dropped points in both of their last two games on the road with just a point gained at Boreham Wood and Solihull

Torquay drew 0-0 with Ebbsfleet United last weekend, they have only won one of their last five games but the Devon side did win the game at Plainmoor against Barrow earlier in the season 4-2.

Second placed Harrogate Town will travel south to take on Aldershot Town looking to close the five point gap on Barrow should they slip up against Torquay

Harrogate were on a run of five wins in a row but were defeated 2-0 at home to Wrexham last weekend, whilst the Shots have failed to score in their last two games with a 0-0 draw in midweek and a 2-0 defeat last weekend to Dover

Yeovil Town are in third place and they host bottom of the table Chorley at Huish Park. They are on a run of three league games without a win and haven’t won at home since a 6-2 victory over Torquay on Boxing Day.

Chorley haven’t won in eight games including a 1-0 defeat in their last game against the Shaymen last weekend and they are now four points below Ebbsfleet United and 11 points behind Dagenham in 20th place.

Boreham Wood face the trip to Lancashire to face on AFC Fylde at Mill Farm. They are unbeaten in their last 13 games and they drew 1-1 with Barrow last weekend. Meanwhile Fylde have not won any league game since a 1-0 win over Wrexham back on the 26th November.

It’s a Nottinghamshire vs Derbyshire derby as Notts County take on Chesterfield this weekend. County have not won in their last two games failing to score in both whilst Chesterfield are now unbeaten in their last three games with two wins and a draw.

Solihull Moors lost manager Tim Flowers by mutual consent this week and they will start life without them this weekend with a home game against Maidenhead United. They haven’t won in four games and had failed to score in five of their last six games. Maidenhead won 2-0 at home to Eastleigh last weekend, their first win of 2020 following two defeats and a draw previously.

Woking have won four of their last five home games but hae lost their last five on the road and they make the trip to Eastleigh looking to end that run who have lost their three league games of 2020 so far

Stockport County have dropped to 10th in the table and they host Dover Athletic who were defeated 4-2 in midweek at the Shay. County have drawn two and lost two of their last four games, whilst Dover have just one win in the league away from home in their last five attempts.

Hartlepool United will make the trip to North London to take on Barnet at the Hive. Hartlepool have failed to win in their last four away trips but are on an unbeaten run of four games with two wins and two draws in their last four games. Barnet have won four and drawn three games in their last seven league games

Ebbsfleet remain second bottom of the table and they were 2-1 victors over Woking in midweek and they will be at home for a second game running with Sutton United the visitors to Stonebridge Road.

Sutton have failed to score in their last three games including two 0-0 draws.

Wrexham have won their last two games scoring 5 goals and conceding none and they return to the Racecourse with Dagenham and Redbridge making the trip to North Wales.
