First up is Chester against Curzon Ashton. It is two sides fighting for promotion.
Chester will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing defeat against Scunthorpe last Saturday. The defeat dismantled any hope of winning the Vanarama National League North.
The last time these two met was back in October. Curzon Ashton ran wild that day, winning 4-0, with Devon Matthews, Michael Afuye, Stefan Mols, and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts all getting involved with the goals that day.
The Nash have two games in hand on all sides above them, so it will undoubtedly be an interesting watch for the visitors as the season ends.
Curzon have hit a bumpy patch lately, with two losses and a draw in their last three games. So, they will be coming into this game with Chester low on confidence and will need to play at their best if they are going to want to steal three points away from the Blues.
The two players to watch in this game will be the strikers, with Chester's Tom Peers, who is the Seals' top goalscorer, and for the Nash, it has to be Jimmy Spencer with his flicks, hold-up play and an eye for a goal. These two will certainly have a good battle this weekend.
At the opposite end of the table is Oxford City versus Radcliffe.
Both teams are level on points after the Hoops drew midweek to Scarborough Athletic and will feel like an opportunity missed after the hosts for the game went down to ten in the 87th minute.
Oxford City are unbeaten in their last four games after a shocking 7-0 defeat to Buxton on March 8th.
A win for the Hoops could extend the gap from the drop against Needham Market while also overtaking Radcliffe.
Radcliffe have lost three of its last five games, with one win and one draw.
The visitors for Saturday's clash were disappointed to drop points to Spennymoor Town in a 3-2 defeat during the week.
For a team that was expected to be relegated, the Boro have done better than expected since their promotion.
The players to watch this weekend will be Corie Andrews for the Hoops, while for Radcliffe, Jordan Hulme has to be the club's top goalscorer and assister.
