York City vs Ebbsfleet
York City are set to claim victory against Ebbsfleet in their National League clash on Saturday. York have been in excellent form this season, with a record of W7-D5-L1 and an impressive home aggregate score of 8-3 from W4-D1-L1. They have kept seven clean sheets in 13 games whilst scoring in 10 of them.
Currently sitting third for xPTS, with only Gateshead and Barnet registering more shots. Under the guidance of attack-minded coach Adam Hinshelwood, who has a strong record from his time at Worthing FC, York have netted 19 goals from an expected 17.74 xG.
His time at York didn’t start well, but they have turned their early struggle around. Their overall record under Hinshelwood now stands at W11-D6-L3, with a defensive record of just 0.55 goals conceded per game. Their home performances have been especially solid.
Ebbsfleet, on the other hand, have had a tough season, with a record of W1-D3-L9, ranking 20th for away xPTS. They have endured a 17-6 aggregate defeat in away matches, managing only one point from a 0-0 draw with Braintree.
York are well-positioned to exploit Ebbsfleet’s weaknesses and secure a win by a healthy margin.

Forest Green vs Braintree
Forest Green Rovers are in excellent form and are poised to overcome Braintree in Saturday’s National League clash. Currently second in the league, Forest Green boasts an impressive record of eight wins, three draws, and just two losses this season. Their unbeaten home form is notable, with three wins and one draw, scoring eight goals while conceding only three.
After a slow start, they’ve found their rhythm, winning seven of their last nine games. With 23 goals scored and only 10 conceded, their attack and defence are well-balanced, making them tough opponents.
Despite having played more away games due to their home pitch not being ready, Forest Green still sits second in the league. They have one of the best defences, with only three sides conceding fewer shots on target at home.
Their record against teams ranked ninth and below is strong, with six wins and two draws.
In contrast, Braintree has struggled, sitting near the bottom with a record of W3-D4-L6 and failing to score in seven out of 13 games.
Their away form is particularly poor, with no wins, only two draws, and four losses, scoring just three goals. They also have the league’s worst shots on target ratio. Forest Green’s superior form and solid defence give them the edge in this matchup.
- Best Bet: Forest Green Rovers to win and under 5 goals at 1.95 with Bet365
Solihull Moors vs Barnet
Barnet travel to Solihull on Saturday and should return with three points. Sitting comfortably at the top of the table, Barnet boasts a strong away record of W3-D0-L3, with two of those losses coming against top-eight teams.
They rank first in xPTS and have one of the tightest defences on the road, conceding the fewest shots on target. Offensively, they're formidable, sitting third for the most shots taken away from home. They also enter this match on a high, having secured seven consecutive wins, including a recent FA Cup victory.
In stark contrast, Solihull Moors are struggling. They sit 12th in the league and 20th for their home record, with a disappointing W1-D2-L3 at home. Their last home game saw them lose 3-0 to York, who sit just four points behind Barnet, indicating their vulnerability against stronger teams. Solihull Moors haven’t won in their last five home games and have yet to keep a clean sheet at home.
- Best Bet: Barnet win and under 6 goals at 1.83 with Bet365
