National League Preview – Tranmere Rovers must avoid defeat at Dover Athletic to keep title hopes alive

Macclesfield Town will clinch the National League title this evening if Tranmere Rovers lose at Dover Athletic.
The Silkmen are ten points clear with two games to play but Tranmere have played two games less and can still catch the leaders.
Micky Mellon’s side head to play-off hopefuls Dover, who are two points off seventh spot and will be desperate to take advantage of this fixture which is their game in hand.
The Whites have won just once in their last five while Tranmere have picked up four consecutive victories.
At the other end of the table, rock-bottom Guiseley will be relegated if their fail to beat Barrow, who are also fighting for their National League status.
Barrow sit just inside the relegation zone by a point but have two games in hand on Woking above them.
Ebbsfleet United aim to continue their play-off push at Eastleigh. Daryl McMahon’s side are unbeaten in ten and are two points off seventh place with two games in hand. Inconsistent Eastleigh aren’t in danger of relegation.
Gary Waddock’s Aldershot Town hope to rediscover their form at home to Gateshead. The Shots have won just twice in their last seven games and are yet to secure their play-off place. Gateshead are pushing for a top-half finish.
Sutton United‘s title hopes came to an end in recent weeks after suffering three consecutive defeats. They drew at home to lowly Hartlepool United on Saturday but manager Paul Doswell was pleased with their performance.
Tonight they travel to Maidenhead United after their original fixture there was abandoned at half-time with Sutton winning 3-2.
Hartlepool, still looking for a few more points to secure their survival, host Leyton Orient, who drew with Macclesfield on Saturday.
FA Trophy finalists Bromley will be visited by Dagenham & Redbridge. The play-offs look out of reach for both teams.
