A look ahead to a huge day in the National League

As the National League draws to a close this weekend there are a number of fascinating scores to be settled. We’ve had a look at the key fixtures to be battled out on Saturday.
With Macclesfield confirmed as Champions, attention now turns towards who can finish in third position in the National League.
Sutton United are currently in pole position to head straight into the play-off semi-finals after overturning a run of five games without victory in an impressive 1-0 win over in-form Ebbsfleet last weekend.
Paul Doswell’s side face a crucial fixture against fourth-placed Aldershot. The Shots are just two points behind Sutton but will come into the game at Gander Green Lane on the back of a disappointing draw against relegation threatened Barrow last weekend.
The race to make it into the rest of the play-off positions also promises to provide a tantalizing plot. After winning four of their last five games, Ebbsfleet require just a point at already relegated Torquay to confirm their position in the end of season promotion lottery.
AFC Fylde and Boreham Wood are both nestled two points inside the play-off positions  After a superb run of four straight victories, Dave Challinor’s side have suffered a minor wobble and only gained one point from their last two matches. Fylde face a tricky trip to Wrexham, who also harbor faint hopes of making the play-offs themselves.
Luke Garrard’s Boreham Wood face a slightly more straightforward task on Saturday in the form of already relegated Guiseley. Wood have been on a poor run of form, losing three of their last four league games but Garrard will be confident that his team can bounce back against a Guiseley side who have conceded 86 times this season.
Waiting in the wings are Bromley and Dover. Both sides are two points adrift of the play-off positions but will be hoping that a potential case of final day nerves from the teams above them may present a golden opportunity.
Neil Smith’s Bromley blew a massive chance to strengthen their play-off chances when they could only manage a stalemate at home to Barrow. They now must win at mid-table Maidenhead and hope that other results go in their favor.
Dover’s promotion push stalled after two straight defeats against Maidenhead and Tranmere, however Saturday’s dramatic victory over Gateshead will give Chris Kinnear’s side confidence ahead of this weekend. The Whites face a trip to Woking in a game which could have potentially huge implications at both ends of the table.
After a vital 2-1 win at Guiseley Woking are just a point adrift of safety but Saturday’s game at The Crabble will prove an extremely tough test for The Cards. Due to Woking’s inferior goal difference compared to 20th-placed Barrow anything less than a win for is unlikely to be enough to give them a fighting chance of avoiding the drop.
Even if Woking do pull of a suprise victory, they will need to rely on Barrow failing to beat already relegated Chester. Ady Pennock’s side have earned respectable draws in their last two encounters at Aldershot and Bromley and will be hopeful of ensuring their National League status is secured on Saturday.
