Saturday's National League predictions including Altrincham vs. Southend United

sportsmole.co.uk, 16 November 2024, 06:15
Altrincham vs. Southend (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Southend United will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when they head to Moss Lane on Saturday afternoon to tackle Altrincham in the National League.

The Essex outfit are currently 15th in the National League table, picking up 21 points from 17 matches, while Altrincham sit 10th, boasting 24 points from their opening 17 games of the 2024-25 campaign.

We say: Altrincham 1-1 Southend United

Altrincham have drawn four of their eight home matches in League Two this season, while Southend have also drawn four times away, and we are finding it difficult to separate the two teams here, ultimately settling on a 1-1 at Moss Lane.

Braintree vs. Fylde (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams battling against relegation from the National League are set to come together on Saturday afternoon when Braintree Town host Fylde at the Ironmongery Direct Stadium.

The hosts are 20th in the table with just 16 points from 17 matches, while the visitors, having secured 18 points from their first 17 outings, are positioned 18th.

We say: Braintree Town 1-3 Fylde

While Braintree will be boosted by their recent victory and the advantage of playing at home, Fylde's impressive win against higher-ranked Gateshead last time out is likely to give them the confidence to secure another win here.

Dag & Red vs. Barnet (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Barnet, looking to regain the excellent form they showed earlier in the National League season, are set to travel to the Chigwell Construction Stadium on Saturday afternoon to face mid-table Dagenham & Redbridge.

The visitors sit third in the league with 34 points from 17 matches, but have been struggling for form in recent outings, while the hosts are 12th with 22 points from their 17 games.

We say: Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Barnet

Despite Barnet being the stronger side overall this season, Dagenham & Redbridge have been formidable at home, and with Barnet struggling in recent outings, winning just one of their last five matches across all competitions, we believe this game will end in a draw.

Ebbsfleet vs. Solihull (Saturday, 3.00pm)

National League basement dwellers Ebbsfleet are set to host playoff-hunting Solihull Moors at Stonebridge Road on Saturday afternoon, with both teams looking to end winless runs in the league.

The hosts have collected just eight points from their opening 17 matches, while the visitors are ninth in the table and have amassed 25 points from 17 games, leaving them only three points behind the playoff spots.

We say: Ebbsfleet 1-3 Solihull Moors

Ebbsfleet are undoubtedly the underdogs heading into this match due to their abysmal beginning to the campaign, and having already conceded 37 times in 17 games, we expect a comfortable victory for the playoff-hunting Solihull.

Gateshead vs. Aldershot (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams with contrasting objectives in the National League are set to meet at the Gateshead International Stadium on Saturday, as promotion hopefuls Gateshead host relegation-threatened Aldershot Town.

The hosts sit fourth in the standings with 33 points from their opening 17 fixtures, while the visitors are 17th with 18 points from 17 games, just two points above the relegation zone.

We say: Gateshead 2-0 Aldershot Town

The hosts may still be finding their feet under new manager Magnay, but the visitors are heading into this match without a win in five across all competitions, leading us to believe Gateshead will comfortably win here.

Hartlepool vs. Eastleigh (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Hartlepool United and Eastleigh square off on Saturday afternoon looking to move closer to the National League playoff places.

As it stands, the two sides sit in 16th and 11th position in the table respectively, albeit within a couple of wins of making an impact higher up the standings.

We say: Hartlepool United 2-1 Eastleigh

With both teams losing their most recent fixtures, this is an opportunity to bounce back. Eastleigh's extended winless streak suggests to us that Hartlepool are clear favourites to prevail here, something which we expect to materialise across the 90 minutes.

Oldham vs. Tamworth (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Oldham Athletic play host to Tamworth on Saturday afternoon looking to keep the pressure on the pacesetters in the National League table.

At a time when the Latics sit in fifth position in the standings, Tamworth are occupying 14th spot and remain clear of the relegation zone.

We say: Oldham Athletic 2-1 Tamworth

Tamworth showed in the FA Cup that they are capable of rising to the occasion when faced with higher-quality opponents. However, on this occasion, we feel that Oldham will do enough to edge their way to victory, potentially by the odd goal in three.

Sutton vs. Maidenhead (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Sutton United play host to Maidenhead United on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that they need to move back into the promotion hunt.

At a time when the home side sit in 13th position in the National League table, the visitors have recently slipped into the relegation zone.

We say: Sutton United 2-1 Maidenhead United

With neither side in good form, we expect this contest to develop into somewhat of a battle of attrition. Nevertheless, Sutton still possess the greater quality in their squad, and that may come to the fore during the latter stages if the visitors have a chance of earning a share of the spoils.

Wealdstone vs. Rochdale (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rochdale make the long trip to Wealdstone looking for the win that would keep them in the top six of the National League table.

Meanwhile, the home side head into Saturday's contest sitting in 22nd place, albeit currently on their best run of form all season.

We say: Wealdstone 1-2 Rochdale

This has all the makings of being one of the games of the weekend in this division, Wealdstone fancying their chances of causing an upset. However, we feel that the visitors will do just enough to earn another win, one that could take them as high as fourth.

Woking vs. Boston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Woking play host to Boston United on Saturday afternoon in what is a battle at the bottom of the National League table.

These two teams sit in 19th and 23th position respectively, the visitors trailing the home side by just the six points.

We say: Woking 2-1 Boston United

Boston have shown signs in recent games that they are capable of getting back into the mix with regards to safety. Nevertheless, Woking have been competitive in all their recent defeats, leading us to predict a home win by the odd goal in three.

Yeovil vs. Halifax (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two playoff contenders meet in the National League this weekend when Yeovil Town host FC Halifax Town at Huish Park.

The Glovers currently occupy the final playoff place and are just two points ahead of this weekend's visitors in the table.

We say: Yeovil Town 1-1 Halifax Town

The two teams have strong defensive foundations and will be eager for a victory to strengthen their playoff bids. However, with both sides capable of scoring goals, we are going with a 1-1 draw here.

Forest Green vs. York City (Saturday, 5.30pm)

The top two in the National League square off this weekend, when Forest Green Rovers host league leaders York City at The Bolt New Lawn.

With just one point separating the two sides at the summit, both clubs will see this fixture as the perfect opportunity to gain an early advantage in the title race.

We say: Forest Green Rovers 2-2 York City

These two teams are ahead in the title race for good reason.

Although both sides are strong in defence, their ability to score goals should make this an entertaining game, and we think it will be a 2-2 draw here, with little to separate the sides.
