The season is hotting up and Matthew O'Regan has a 17/1 non-league acca to get stuck into.
While Alfreton Town are safe from relegation and have no chance of finishing inside the playoffs, they will be keen to ensure they finish as high as possible after finishing in the top nine in the last three seasons and the playoffs last year. 'Often have poor this season but have scored at least two goals in 8/19 home games and face the worst away side in the league.
Rushall Olympic are nine points from safety and all but relegated. They have struggled on the road this season, with no team taking fewer points than their 11. Olympic have conceded 2+ goals in 16/20 away games, conceding a league high 55 goals on their travels.
Prediction: Alfreton Over 1.5 Goals - 1.83
Another side struggling towards the bottom of the table are Warrington Town. The Yellows will be relegated on the weekend if they fail to win and Radcliffe get a result so the writing is on the wall. Warrington have now lost five games in a row, conceding 13 goals.
The Yellows have struggled on the road, taking just 36 11 points from 20, conceding 36 in the process. Excluding the game against Farsley Celtic (who do not have a 'home ground), Warrington have conceded 2+ goals in all of them, losing nine of these games.
Curzon Ashton looked like they were going to challenge for automatic promotion but their form has fallen off in recent months. However, a 1-1 draw at Chelsea and then a 3-2 win at Needham Market has put them back in a playoff spot. The Nash should have too much for a struggling Warrington side they already beat 0-1 earlier in the season.
Prediction: Curzon Ashton to win and Over 1 Goal -1.72
A run of four games without a win (three draws) looked to have sabotaged Darlington's playoff hopes, but a 2-3 win at Warrington has put them seven points off the top seven. While it will take a lot to finish in the playoffs, Darlo have the perfect chance to build momentum at home to already relegated Farsley Celtic.
Farsley's issues have been well documented. They are forced to play their 'home games' at a neutral ground and are in deep trouble off the pitch. Celtic are now 18 games without a win, losing their last 13 games, conceding 56 goals in this time. With relegation already confirmed, attention turns to next year, so expect Darlington to run riot on Saturday afternoon.
Prediction: Darlington Half Time/Full Time and Over 2.5 Goals - 1.75
12 points off the playoffs and 11 points from relegation, Hyde United will be playing NPL Premier Division football again next year. The Tigers have scored 54 goals and conceded 53, taken 26 points at home and 25 away, so are quite predictable. A home game against already relegated Blyth Spartans presents a perfect opportunity to move up to seventh.
Blyth have only registered 18 points this season as financial issues continue to plight the club. Spartans have lost their last six games and are 11 games without a win. They have been losing at half time & full time in their last six games in a row and 11 of their last 13 away games. The club have recently been advertising for a new manager on social media and the situation is looking bleak. Blyth's six away points all came earlier in the season and could be in for a long season against Hyde United.
Prediction: Hyde United Half Time/Full Time - 2.00
Robbie Savage has put his money where his mouth is and stormed to the league title with Macclesfield. The Silkmen have been imperious this season and are currently 20 points clear at the top. Moss Rose has been a fortress this campaign, with Macclesfield winning 16 games out of 18. Making the trip to Cheshire are a Workington side with the fourth worst away record and it should be another game where the hosts record an easy victory.
Prediction: Macclesfield Half Time/Full Time - 1.57
