Here, our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling has made his latest round of National League predictions as Pools look to keep pace in the race for the top seven.
1. Boston United 2-2 Altrincham
Boston are looking to bounce back from a bruising 6-2 defeat at the hands of promotion-chasing Carlisle United on Saturday but the Pilgrims have been in generally encouraging form since the return of former manager Paul Hurst, winning six, drawing two and losing just one of the nine games prior to their mauling at the weekend. Altrincham, meanwhile, appear to have found form at just the right time and a much-needed run of five wins in their last seven looks to have lifted them clear of trouble at the wrong end of the National League.

2. Aldershot Town 2-2 Boreham Wood
An ill-timed run of five successive defeats has plunged the Shots back towards the relegation zone following an upturn in form under the wily John Coleman. Boreham Wood, meanwhile, are on the cusp of securing a play-off place but the Hertfordshire side have been in indifferent form of late, winning three, losing two and drawing one of their last six games. Expect goals; Aldershot have the division's second worst defensive record while only title-chasing York City have outscored the Wood so far this term. Photo: Getty Images : f
3. Brackley Town 2-1 Braintree Town
Something's got to give in this battle at the bottom. Brackley, who are only above the relegation zone on goal difference, have managed just one point from a possible 27 since the departure of promotion-winning boss Gavin Cowan whereas Braintree, who are three points adrift of safety, have lost five of their last seven.

4. Halifax Town 1-2 Carlisle United
Halifax are unbeaten in their last five matches and come into this one off the back of three successive wins. Carlisle have been a bit unpredictable of late but the Cumbrians have nonetheless won six of their previous nine National League games and thrashed 10-man Boston United last time out.
