Brackley looking to continue run with trip to Nash

Fighting at the top of the National League North, Brackley Town will look to maintain their title push with a victory away to Curzon Ashton.

Having been in the playoff mix for much of the campaign, Curzon have dropped off in recent weeks and are beginning to fall out of contention.

Unbeaten in the last seven matches, Brackley travel to Greater Manchester priced at 10/11 to take the win, whilst Curzon come in at 13/5.

Fidgety Fylde looking to get season back on track against Telford

Once a clear title contender, AFC Fylde have fallen off the pace in recent weeks and enter the weekend 10 points behind leaders Gateshead.

Edging a 2-1 victory the last time the pair met, the promotion hopefuls will be looking to get one over on an AFC Telford side hoping to avoid the drop.

Priced at 3/5 to take the win, punters may want to look at the hosts netting a healthy goals return instead, with over 3.5 goals coming in at 13/8 with Betfred.

Who will triumph as the Angel of the North?

Two sides from the North East will lock horns on Saturday afternoon, when Gateshead host Spennymoor Town.

Gateshead are in pole position to get promoted as National League North champions, but Spennymoor have been known to spoil a side's promotion hopes in seasons gone by.

Unsurprisingly favourites, Gateshead are 8/11 for the win, whilst their North East neighbours come in at 3/1.
