There is a National League double-header for football fanatics to look forward to this week as league leaders Chesterfield bid to stretch their lead at the summit against Rochdale.
The pick of Tuesday’s matches though could come from Victoria Park, where fifth-placed Hartlepool host second-placed Solihull Moors in a contest which could have huge ramifications on the promotion picture.
To embrace the action, we have picked out a four-fold accumulator which pays out at 11/1.
Over 2.5 goals in Rochdale v Chesterfield @ 7/10
Gateshead to beat Oxford City @ 4/6
Bromley to beat Eastleigh @ 21/20
Barnet to beat York @ 6/5
Acca pays: 11-1
Odds were correct at the time of writing and subject to change.
Over 2.5 goals in Rochdale v Chesterfield @ 7/10
Chesterfield were pre-season title favourites in the National League and so far they are living up to that billing with 28 points from their opening 11 assignments.
The Spireites have won six on the spin and there is sure to be plenty of bettors following them in again at the Crown Oil Arena.
However, Rochdale have lost only three of their first 11 matches and they have settled well despite enduring relegation from League Two last season.
Instead, goals may be the way to go and backing over 2.5 is a safer ploy.
There have been 48 scored across Chesterfield’s 11 league matches with both teams netting in all bar one of those encounters.
Rochdale, meanwhile, have seen both teams score in six of their last seven league matches and, with so much attacking talent on show, this should be an entertaining affair.
Gateshead to beat Oxford City @ 4/6
A six-game unbeaten run has seen Gateshead move up to fourth in the National League standings and there is plenty to like about their prospects at Oxford City.
Gateshead are not only on a roll but they have been playing some excellent football under Mike Williamson, who last season guided the Tynesiders to the FA Trophy final.
Williamson’s men have recorded back-to-back 3-0 wins against Kidderminster and Maidenhead and they should have little to fear at Oxford City, who sit 17th with 11 points from as many matches.
The hosts endured a 4-0 drubbing at Oldham on Saturday and this looks like another tough test for them against a Gateshead side that have already won 4-2 away at Dagenham & Redbridge and 6-0 at Eastleigh this season.
Bromley to beat Eastleigh @ 21/20
Since losing their opening two fixtures of the National League season, Bromley have sparked into life with a nine-game unbeaten run.
Bromley had won five in a row before drawing 1-1 at second-placed Solihull Moors last weekend, a sequence which has featured home victories over Southend, Maidenhead and Oldham.
With confidence soaring, Bromley can make the most of home advantage against Eastleigh, who have failed to score in three of their five away games and are languishing in mid-table.
Barnet to beat York @ 6/5
Barnet are flying high in third in the National League standings after winning seven of their opening 11 matches and the Bees can maintain their strong form at York.
Dean Brennan’s side were frustrated in a goalless draw at Halifax on Saturday but they should find York’s defence much easier to breach.
The Minstermen have conceded 20 goals across their opening 11 league matches, conceding at least twice in seven of those fixtures.
That doesn't bode well against a Barnet frontline spearheaded by the in-form Nicke Kabamba, who already has nine goals this season.
At odds-against, Barnet are difficult to ignore as they chase a fifth win in their last seven league matches.
