National League games this week: Mega relegation clash as promotion hopefuls face off
The National League threw up some headline stories once again this weekend as teams at the top and the bottom secured some much-needed points.
Gateshead won the battle of the bottom two against Truro City to leapfrog their rivals and secure successive wins for the first time this season.
At the top, it was a routine Saturday afternoon as league leaders Rochdale romped to a 3-0 win over Woking while York City made easy work of play-off hopefuls Halifax Town in a 4-1 victory.
It was also a weekend of managerial departures as Wealdstone sacked Sam Cox after winning once in their last 13, while Eastleigh relieved Scott Bartlett of his duties following their heavy defeat to Morecambe.
With a full fifth-tier schedule across Tuesday and Wednesday night, every game available to watch live on DAZN, and here are the pick of the midweek matches.
National League matches this week
Scunthorpe United vs. York City
- Date: Tuesday, February 24
- Time: 7.45pm (Available to watch live on DAZN)
One of the eye-catching encounters of the night comes from the Attis Arena as play-off contenders Scunthorpe United host title-chasing York.
Andy Butler's men were the latest to fall victim to a rampant Aldershot Town on Saturday afternoon as Sean Patton's brace fired John Coleman's side to a 3-1 victory.
That result means that the Iron are without a win in their last four and now face the prospect of hosting the league's highest scorers on Tuesday night.
York are doing everything in their power to catch Rochdale, but must maintain their ridiculous form if they are to have a chance of leapfrogging them at the top of the table.
Stuart Maynard's men have now won their last seven league matches and sit just one point behind the Dale, although they have played a game more.
Southend United vs. Boreham Wood
- Date: Tuesday, February 24
- Time: 7.45pm (Available to watch live on DAZN)
Two of the National League's promotion hopefuls meet at Roots Hall on Tuesday evening in a match that should provide plenty of goals.
Southend continued their free-scoring form against Brackley Town on the weekend by scoring three goals after the 80th minute to notch a 3-0 win on away soil.
Kevin Maher's men have scored eight goals in their last two league outings and have as many as four games in hand on the teams around them in the top seven.
Boreham Wood recorded a second successive league draw against Forest Green Rovers, meaning that they are unbeaten in their last four in all competitions.
The National League Cup finalists occupy fourth position and can give themselves further breathing space on the chasing pack with a victory in midweek.
Gateshead vs. Morecambe
- Date: Wednesday, February 25
- Time: 7.45pm (Available to watch live on DAZN)
Everyone thought Gateshead were doomed to relegation this season, but they have now won back-to-back games to give themselves a fighting chance of survival.
A Harry Chapman double helped the Heed on their way to all three points against fellow strugglers Truro in the live Saturday game, and another win would help them reduce their 10-point gap from safety.
Morecambe have been on a barren run of their own, but the Shrimps' 4-0 demolition of Eastleigh means that they, too, have an outside chance of survival.
Jim Bentley's side sit third from bottom and are nine points adrift of safety, but their most recent exploits must surely have built some renewed confidence in what was a depleted dressing room.
