Non League Best Bets - Saturday 13th April 2024

Games are coming thick and fast in the Non-League scene, with it now entering do-or-die territory for teams chasing promotion or battling against relegation. With that in mind, we have four best bets from the Non-League action.

Wealdstone vs Chesterfield

Wealdstone had a severe backlog of games and have slowly been getting through them in recent weeks. However, this has had a negative effect on the form as so many games in such a short space of time are tough to deal with for a semi-professional team.

Before their Thursday night triumph over Dorking, the 1-1 draw at home to Kidderminster was the only game the Stones hadn't lost in their last seven. The visit of runaway champions Chesterfield on Saturday will make it ten games in 27 days for Wealdstone.

Interim manager Sam Cox has a big task on his hands to keep his side up, as they sit just three points clear of the relegation zone with three matches to go.

Chesterfield have understandably petered off since they won the National League, losing to relegation candidates York and Kidderminster in the space of a week. While the record points tally is now out of the question, Paul Cook will be determined to reach 100 points, with maximum points from the final two enough to secure this accolade.

With Wealdstone tiring and Chesterfield with 100 points in their sights, the Spireites look value to return to winning ways.

Selection: Chesterfield to win @1.850

Farnborough vs Taunton

A resounding 3-1 win over Chippenham made it eight wins from nine for Farnborough as they make a late surge for the playoffs. The Yellows currently occupy the last playoff space but are in a cluster of four teams still chasing the final two spots.

Spencer Day's side have been potent in attack, with only champions Yeovil (75), Slough (81) and Worthing (96) scoring more goals than Farnborough. Over the last ten games in the league, they are the most in-form team in the league. Farnborough also boasts the fourth-best home record in the league.

Taunton come into this game deep in relegation trouble after failing to win any of their last nine games. This weekend's game will be their seventh in just fifteen days as postponements have massively derailed their season. To make matters worse, goalkeeper Dan Lavercombe was sent off in the 0-4 capitulation.

The Peacocks have accumulated just 18 points on their travels, conceding 42 goals in the process.

With the contrasting form of the sides and Taunton's heavy fixture schedule, Farnborough should run out comfortable winners

Selection: Farnborough win and over 1 goal @1.90

Enfield vs Potters Bar

While Hornchurch have comfortably won the Isthmian Premier Division, Enfield Town are still fighting for second place and crucial home games in the playoffs. Gavin Macpherson's side are unbeaten in 11 games, winning their last three games - scoring at least three goals in all three.

At home, The Towners have been dominant, picking up 37 points from 19 games. Enfield are blessed in attack, having Marcus Wyllie and Sam Youngs, with the duo boasting 50 league goals between them. With a game in hand on second-place Chatham and a final-game decider against The Chats for second place, Enfield will fancy their chances of finishing as runners-up.

Potters Bar went nine games unbeaten to salvage their season and steer clear of survival. However, since then, they've lost four on the bounce - including a late capitulation to lose 2-3 to Margate.

Now that Max Mitchell's side are safe, they have to tackle their gruesome fixture schedule. The Scholars have already played two games in the last four days and now face six games in the next fifteen games.

Enfield will be expected to continue their fine form against an out-of-sorts Potters Bar.

Selection: Enfield to win @1.70
