We have a big midweek slate of Non-League football and Matthew O'Regan has his four best bets.
The National League South title race is hotting up, and two of those chasing promotion are facing off in a crunch battle on the South Coast.
Boreham Wood sit top of the league on goal difference, although four teams below them, including Worthing are level on points with them. The Wood were 14 games unbeaten, winning 12, before a shock 1-4 loss at home to Chippenham.
The return of highly popular manager Luke Garrard has coincided with an upturn in form, with Wood still priced as favourites (3.25) for the league title.
Fourth place Worthing are the second favourites (5.00) after a fine run of form has seen them unbeaten in 11, winning their last four. The Rebels have picked up some impressive results in this run, winning away at Maidstone and Dorking (1-2) and Torquay in the FA Trophy (5-1).
Worthing have become renowned for their attacking DNA, with Muhammadu Faal, Danny Cashman and Jack Spong amongst the best players in the league. However, Chris Agutter has recently added some more steel into his backline, with the experienced signing of Joe Partington shoring up the backline.
With home advantage and perhaps more 'star quality' than the visitors, Worthing look value to pick up at least a point.
Prediction: Worthing +0.5 Asian Handicap @1.750
From a title battle in the National League South to a relegation scrap in the Isthmian Premier League, as 18th place Canvey Island hosts 16th-place Cheshunt.
Canvey Island have been on a rapid decline in the league after six straight defeats. The Gulls have struggled defensively, conceding 43, while scoring 35 goals, with their games averaging 3.12 goals.
Cheshunt looked destined for the drop, with the end of legendary manager's Craig Edwards tenure turning slightly sour. The experienced Mel Gwinnett was appointed as his replacement and things have picked up under the 61-year-old but there is still improvement to be made.
Six of The Ambers' last seven games have seen at least three goals, for an average of four goals per game. Altogether, Cheshunt games have seen an average of 3.23 goals.
Both sides have the capabilities to score against lacklusture defences, so we should see plenty of goals in Essex.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals @1.90
Last season's Northern Premier League champions Radcliffe host National League North table-toppers Chester at Stainton Park.
The hosts are currently 19th in the league after two wins in three and will be looking to utilise their games in hand to start climbing the league. With 31 goals scored and 44 conceded, their games are averaging 3.125 goals, with 10/13 home games and seven of the last nine league games seeing BTTS.
Chester sits top of the league after five wins on the bounce, scoring 15 goals in the process. The Seals won three away games in this run, scoring four goals in all three, and conceding five in total. Of their 13 away games, BTTS has landed in nine, including their last six.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score @1.80
Rushall Olympic looked dead and buried in the National League North before an impressive four wins from five have breathed life back into the Walsall-based side.
This run included wins at home to Scunthorpe and away to Kidderminster - two sides battling for promotion. Richard Sneeke's side have scored 28 goals and conceded 58, with BTTS landing in 12/14 home games - the most in the league.
They host a Kings Lynn side who are fifth in the league, just four points off leaders Chester. The Linnets have scored 36 goals in 30, with BTTS landing in five of the last six. The visitors should have too much for the hosts, but Rushall Olympic will still expect to score.
Prediction: BTTS @1.83
