Ebbsfleet United are on the road once again, this time away to Grimsby Town this weekend looking to leapfrog the Mariners in the Conference Premier.
Liam Daish’s side have been on a good run in recent months and a win would see them climb to 15th in the table.
Second-placed Welling will be looking to close the gap at the top of the Blue Square Bet South league, as they are some nine points adrift of first placed Woking and will be desperate to pick up three points away to fifth-placed Sutton United.
The Wings have a sizable lead on the chasing play-off sides that include Dartford, Chelmsford and Sutton.
The Darts, who have won one, lost one, and drawn one of their last three matches, face seventh-placed Dorchester.
Eleventh placed Tonbridge Angels could move as high as sixth with a result over 16th-placed Havant and Waterlooville, if other results go their way, however, their last win was four matches ago and they face a side with a penchant for holding teams – following three successive draws.
Farnborough welcome eighteenth placed Bromley to Rushmoor Stadium with the Ravens desperate to get back to winning ways having failed to win for nearly two months in the league and having managed just a point from their last seven encounters.
And finally, Staines Town have a tricky task of overcoming sixth-placed Dover in their bid to escape the relegation zone. On 14 points from 19 games, the Swans are fighting a losing battle where even three points won’t see them move out of the bottom three.
Dover have aspirations of a play-off place and on 31 points, will need to pick up a result to see off the challenge of Dorchester and Basingstoke and keep up the pressure on Chelmsford and Sutton.
