While the Step Two title races have gone down to the wire, three teams are level at the top of the Isthmian League Premier Division (step three), while Chichester and Dover are in a straight shoot-off for the final play-off spot.
Billericay have won their last three games without conceding to put them top of the league. Ricay have the second best home record in the league, taking 45 points from 20. When the sides met earlier in the season, it ended in a 1-1 draw.
Cheshunt sit 15th in the league after securing survival weeks ago. Legendary manager Craig Edwards departed the club after a disappointing start to the season, with Mell Gwinnett guiding The Ambers to safety. Cheshunt beat Wingate & Finchley 3-1 on Easter Monday to thwart a four game losing streak. Gwinnett's side have taken five more points away from home than at Theobalds Lane, so have a chance of upsetting the odds at New Lodge.
Prediction - Billericay 1-1 Cheshunt
Horsham are level on points with Billericay but behind by just one goal difference. The Hornets have won seven games on the bounce, conceding just two goals in the process. Dominic di Paola recently celebrated ten years of managing the club and will be celebrating even more should his side take all three points on Saturday.
Hashtag United look to be finishing eighth in the league - a respectable return for Jay Devereux's side who continue to climb the leagues. The Tag have nothing to play for, so Horsham should sweep them aside with ease.
Prediction: Horsham 2-0 Hashtag United
Dartford FC were in pole position to win the title, before drawing 2-2 at Cray Wanderers- allowing Horsham and Billericay to leapfrog them. The Darts have ended the season strongly, losing just twice since October 19th. However, The Darts may have to settle for the playoffs, unless Hashtag and Cheshunt can pull of a shock result.
Prediction: Dartford 3-1 Carshalton
A win sees Chichester in the playoffs. Anything else sees Dover retain their place. The Lillywhites are chasing back-t0-back promotions through the playoffs. Miles Rutherford side have lost just three times since December, so come into this game with confidence. Oaklands Park has been a fortress, with Chichester taking 38 points from 20 games, losing just four times.
Dover were embroiled in a dramatic title charge, before winning just three games between 28th December - 18th of March. This has seen The Whites slide down the league and are up against it heading into the final game. Jake Leberl can take solace in the fact that his side have lost just four times away from home this year, and this may see them limp over the line.
Prediction: Chichester 2-2 Dover
