A SIGNIFICANT managerial departure impacts on this week’s Enterprise National League schedule and William Hill News bring you the best bets and predictions this Saturday.
Meanwhile, there are matches affecting upper and lower reaches of the table. So football betting odds are well worth scrutinising.
Here is my analysis of the upcoming fixtures I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your betting plans…
Solihull Moors v Boreham Wood Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 23rd versus 1st
Solihull Moors preview – Joint bottom sitting four points adrift of safety. Just a solitary Enterprise National League victory amid nine attempts throughout 2026/27.
Boreham Wood preview – Three points clear protecting this division’s final remaining unbeaten record consisting of seven wins and two draws. Matt Rush is the league’s leading scorer amassing nine goals across seven appearances.
Score prediction: Wood whirlwind 5-0.
Southend United v Barrow Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 2nd versus 17th
Southend United preview – Three points below pole position following five unconquered games. Sam Austin has netted four times in the past two matches including a brilliant hat-trick during last Saturday’s 6-1 romp at Gateshead.
Barrow preview – Surprisingly disappointing after relegation from EFL League Two last season. Merely two maximum pointers leave the Bluebirds one point ahead of relegation peril.
Score prediction: Southend stunning 3-1.
Kidderminster Harriers v Yeovil Town Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 3rd versus 7th
Kidderminster Harriers preview – Eight games undefeated since losing 3-0 at Hornchurch on the opening day. Therefore five points off top spot.
Yeovil Town preview – Last Friday’s 4-1 home success over Solihull Moors terminated three winless encounters and accordingly moved the Glovers into Play-Off discussions.
Score prediction: Kidderminster keenest 1-0.
Boston United v AFC Fylde Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 15th versus 4th
Boston United preview – Their 3-1 triumph at Forest Green Rovers last Saturday ended five Enterprise National League engagements lacking wins.
AFC Fylde preview – Also on Saturday, AFC Fylde suffered a first defeat inside six games (incorporating four victories) by surrendering 2-1 at home to Altrincham. Now six points behind top spot.
Score prediction: Fylde in fine fettle 2-0.
Scunthorpe United v Hartlepool United Prediction
- Kick-off: 3pm
- Rankings: 22nd versus 19th
Scunthorpe United preview – One point under the dreaded dotted relegation line nursing four defeats spanning five outings.
Hartlepool United preview – Pools boss Lee Clark resigned immediately after last Saturday’s 3-1 home reverse against Worthing. It signalled a third successive defeat and a sixth within seven matches. They lie one point above the danger zone.
Club coaches Adam Clayton and Gary Liddle assume caretaker duties going into the Scunthorpe fixture whilst “a thorough and considered recruitment process” is carried out to fill the managerial vacancy.
Score prediction: Ultra boring 0-0.
Rest of Saturday’s National League Score Predictions:
- Aldershot Town v Tamworth: 4-1
- Altrincham v Hornchurch: 3-3
- Carlisle United v Woking: 0-0
- Harrogate Town v Eastleigh: 1-2
- Sutton United v Forest Green Rovers: 1-0
- Wealdstone v Gateshead: 3-2
- Worthing v Halifax Town: 1-1
