After 4/4 in the last Non-League best bets column, Matthew O'Regan is back with another four bets from the Non-League slate.
Dorking made the headlines in midweek after a 1-7 drubbing of Hemel Hempstead and now return to Meadowbank to host top-of-the-table Truro City.
Marc White's side suffered their first-ever relegation in their 25-year history last season and are now back in the National League South, looking to bounce back at the first time of asking.
The Wanderers currently sit fifth in the National League South, four points off the top. With 42 goals, Dorking are the top scorers in the league. However, their attacking potency comes at a cost, conceding 30 goals, with their games averaging 3.6 goals.
Truro make the gruelling 500-mile round trip to Surrey to face Dorking. The Tinners are currently defying expectations and sit top of the league with 37 points, four clear of Saturday's hosts. Back-to-back wins against Chesham (2-1) and Weymouth (1-4) have seen them go top.
John Askey's side have scored in 16/19 games, with BTTS landing in 7/9. BTTS has landed in 9/10 Dorking home games, so a high-scoring game is in store.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 goals @2.00
Hartlepool came 12th in their return to the National League in a tumultuous. This campaign has started similarly with Darren Sarll sacked in the early months of the season. Veteran manager Lennie Lawrence has taken the reigns, winning his last two games 3-4 vs Solihull Moors and 2-0 vs AFC Fylde.
The Monkey Hangers were pragmatic under Sarll but looked to have taken the shackles off in recent weeks.
Barnet have scored 42 goals in 20 games - the most in the league. They've also conceded 24 in 20, with their games averaging 3.3 goals. Away from home, their games have been chaotic, averaging 3.7 goals. The Bees have only the ninth-best away record in the league - something they must improve on if they are to stay top of the league.
Of their ten away games, seven have seen both teams score, including their last four, which have seen 21 goals.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals @2.00
Despite being one of the pre-season favourites for the Isthmian Premier Division title, Horsham have struggled thus far and sit 15th. Dominic Di Paola's side are perhaps the victim of their success, with their cup exploits hurting their league form.
The Hornets are now out of the FA Cup but face a big FA Trophy tie at Torquay in a week. For now, the league will be a welcome distraction. At home, Horsham have performed well, picking up 12 points in six home games.
They host third-bottom Bowers & Pitsea, who have the second-worst away record in the league. Bowers come into this game off the back of four straight defeats, including a 0-1 home loss to struggling Bognor Regis. They've picked up just three points in seven away games and face a tough test away at a strong Horsham squad.
Prediction: Horsham -1 Asian Handicap @1.800
Taunton Town's two-year spell in the National League South - the highest league they have ever been in was ended with relegation last season. The Peacocks are now looking to rebuild under the guise of highly rated manager Richard Luffman, who has built an exciting side.
While they have started the season slower than he would've liked, there is a sense that things should all click into place for the promotion-chasing Peacocks.
Chertsey stormed to the title last year with 100 points, earning promotion to the Southern League South Premier Division. Mark Harper's side sit one place above Saturday's host, having played a game more.
While there is not much to separate the sides at the moment, Taunton's home advantage should see them edge past Chertsey in an entertaining game.
Prediction: Taunton Draw No Bet @1.850
