While the FA Trophy takes centre stage this weekend, the National League and National League South/North still see a full slate. Matthew O'Regan previews his three best bets from the National League South.
Eastbourne Borough currently sit sixth in the National League South despite a second-half collapse away at Hampton & Richmond. Boro are now in their second season of being full-time, and Adam Murray's side are looking like promotion contenders.
In George Alexander and Alfie Pavey, Sports are blessed with two of the best attacking options in the league, as well as a resolute defence, shielded by the experienced Shaun Williams.
After a poor start to the season, Boreham Wood moved to appoint former boss Luke Garrard as the new manager. The Wood currently sit two points behind Saturday's hosts after a dull 1-1 draw at home to struggling Hornchurch. Away from home, Boreham Wood have only won two games and may settle for a draw at Priory Lane.
Prediction: Eastbourne Borough Double Chance @1.90
Truro struggled last season, barely staying up. This was a result of a late-season fixture pile-up that saw them play their last home games at a neutral ground.
Back at the Truro City Stadium this season, John Askey's side have started the season strongly and are sat in fourth, four games unbeaten. The Tinners have the second-best home record in the league, picking up 15 points from seven home games.
Truro showed their resilience away at league leaders Farnborough, battling to a 1-1 draw despite playing for half an hour with nine men.
Tonbridge have to make the brutal 700-mile round trip to Cornwall and will be up against it from minute one. Jay Saunders' side currently sit ninth in the league, with their home form to thank.
The Angels have won four and drawn two of their six games at Longmead Stadium, picking up just six points away from home, including losing their last two.
With Truro's home form, coupled with Tonbridge's long journey, the value lies with the hosts.
Prediction: Truro -0.5 Asian Handicap @2.00
After Adam Hinshelwood was poached by York last season, Hastings United manager Chris Agutter was appointed as the new Worthing manager. The 41-year-old has the Rebels playing attractive, possession football and has them sitting in 11th, one point off the playoffs with a game in hand.
They've scored 18 goals and conceded 21 goals, with their games averaging 3.25 goals. While only one of their four home games have seen over 2.5 goals, The Rebels have an abundance of attacking talent who excel when a team comes onto them.
Slough are a side that will do just that, with Scott Davies playing attacking football. Slough are currently 7th in the league and have scored 21 goals, conceding 12. They have now scored in eight straight games, so they will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet against a weak Worthing defence.
Prediction: Worthing win and Both Teams To Score @4.00
