Football Park's 2025/26 Enterprise National League MW9 Saturday Preview

Tomorrow's Fixture between Yeovil Town and Woking, an early 12:30 pm kick off, introduces a pivotal saturday of National League football.

Dominant Forest Green Rovers host Scunthorpe in what is the game to look out for this weekend, as both teams remain unbeaten in their bids to return to the promised land of the EFL.

Strugglers Truro City and Sutton United both welcome tricky opponents as they try to reverse their fortunes against Rochdale and Tamworth with their home faithful spurring them on for a change in league fortune.

Football Park have provided a lowdown on tomorrow's action:

Yeovil Town vs Woking

With the appointment of Chesterfield assistant manager Danny Webb over the line for Yeovil, they will be hoping home advantage sees them climb above this Saturday's opponents, Woking.

Unbeaten in their previous four National League games, with one being last week's impressive 5-0 home victory over Gateshead, the Surrey outfit will be desperate to spoil Webb's maiden game in charge and continue their form as they continue to try to make up for their disappointing start to the season.

Truro City vs Rochdale

After a 3-0 loss last time out for Truro, in what broke the record as the furthest English football away game, they will have to be on top of their game to overcome the challenge of high-flying Rochdale, second only to the unbeaten Forest Green Rovers.

Current joint National League top goalscorer Emmanuel Dierseruvwe will look to add to his tally for The Dale as he is he continues to fire them in at the rate of a goal a game so far this campaign.

Sutton United vs Tamworth

Only one win so far this season for Sutton United as they welcome mid-table Tamworth to the VBS Community Stadium in what they hope will be an opportunity to lift them from near the foot of the table despite having outscored almost half of the league.

In Focus: Tamworth ⤵️

Tamworth, champions of the National League North two seasons ago, will look to climb up the table and gun for the playoffs, one step further than they did last season in what was an inspiring first season in the top step of Non-League for The Lambs.

Hartlepool vs Brackley Town

Although 6th in the league, Hartlepool are winless in their last four National League outings as they welcome Brackley Town. The former Football League side returns to Victoria Park in a bid to improve their previous two seasons of mid-table mediocrity.

Gavin Cowen's side takes a trip up to County Durham, and following his pre-season claim of not liking the word 'survival', he'll want to increase the advantage on the teams following close behind.

Boreham Wood vs Altrincham

The Wood, having lost only their opening game this season, play host to a very competent Altrincham side, who have seen off both Sutton United and Gateshead respectively in their previous two outings.

Boreham Wood, last year's National League South play-off winners, off the back of a victory in the National League cup against West Brom u21s, will be filled with confidence going into what should be a fascinating game at Meadow Park.

Braintree Town vs York City

A victory against Halifax and an impressive 1- 0 win over Yeovil are what help prop up Braintree Town from the bottom of the National League as they face unbeaten York with Stewart Maynard now at the helm.

Despite an unbeaten start from The Minstermen, a change in leadership was made when the popular Adam Hinshelwood was relieved of his duties despite an impressive start and league campaign last season, for Maynard. They'll be hoping to extend their run this weekend in their strive for promotion.

✌️ wins in 2️⃣

Southend United vs Boston United

The Shrimpers, currently level on points with fellow former Football League Carlisle, welcome Boston United in what they'll hope will be business as usual at home to continue to cover up last season's play-off heartbreak against Oldham.

Boston United will be travelling to Essex in hopes of creating an upset, with 36-year-old veteran striker Lenell John-Lewis spearheading the attack, looking to add to his three goals so far to fire The Pilgrims up the table.

Carlisle vs Aldershot

Following Carlisle's 3-0 drubbing of Truro last time out at Brunton Park, with Luke Armstrong and joint league top goalscorer Regan Linney both firing, they will be confident they can do the business at home against The Shots.

Aldershot, despite being mid-table, have scored 22 goals so far this season in their first eight games of their National League campaign, which is the highest toll in the league, beating the next highest Carlisle by five goals. Let's just say that a goal fest could be on the cards this weekend, certainly a fixture to look out for.

Solihull Moors vs Morcambe

Morecambe's only win so far came in their first game of the season after the embargo was lifted, in the 90+8th minute against Altrincham. With only five games played so far, new Shrimps gaffer Ashvir Singh Johal will look to alleviate his side's woes and lift them from the foot of the table.

Home side Solihull picked up their first win of the season last Saturday against Boston United, thanks to a Jacob Wakeling brace at The Jakemans Community Stadium. This fixture is huge for both sides, wanting to finally kick on this season and appease disgruntled fans.

Forest Green vs Scunthorpe

Two unbeaten sides face off as table-topping Forest Green Rovers host Lincolnshire outfit Scunthorpe. Green's boss Robbie Savage, will be desperate to follow on with his tradition of jumping in with the fans to celebrate this weekend, as a win would propel them even further from the following group.

Scunthorpe's preview two games against Eastleigh and Wealdstone have both been abandoned due to injuries, with the first being replayed at a later date and the second being awarded as a win for The Iron. These debacles settled by the National League will have to be put behind them, and full focus must be on this tough challenge on Saturday in their desperation to continue their unbeaten form.

Wealdstone vs Gateshead

A tricky past few games have been navigated professionally by Alun Armstrong's Tynesiders, one being a display of second-half heroics against Yeovil Town in a 4-3 win, which contributed to former Glovers boss Mark Cooper being relieved of his duties.

They travel to Wealdstone, who are currently on the brink of the play-off places. Controversy in their previous National League outing came when their game against Scunthorpe was ended prematurely shortly after The Iron went 2-1 up in the second half due to a shoulder injury. Eventually conceding the points to Scunthorpe, Wealdstone will be desperate to bounce back and win over some respect from other rightly angered National League fans.

Halifax Town vs Eastleigh

Halifax boss Adam Lakeland was poached from King's Lynn over the summer after The Shaymen fell short in the National League play-offs last season, and has had an up-and-down start to the season, with results against Boston United, Yeovil and a draw against Scunthorpe in amongst losses, leaving them in mid-table.

The visitors, Eastleigh, very much following suit but lagging one game behind, following the abandonment of their game against Scunthorpe. With a goalless away defeat to Tamworth last weekend, they will look to turn around their fortunes to pull away from current National League strugglers
