JUST one team remain unbeaten as we head into another appetising weekend of Enterprise National League action and William Hill News bring you Tony Incenzo’s best bets and predictions for Saturday.

Meanwhile, one club have yet to record a victory. So football betting odds make absorbing reading.

National League Best Bets This Weekend:

Harrogate, Boreham Wood & Southend all to win (13/2)
Halifax v Hornchurch to end in a draw (23/10)

Here is my analysis of the upcoming fixtures I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your betting plans…

Harrogate Town v Tamworth Prediction

Kick-off: 12.30pm
Rankings: 2nd versus 19th

Harrogate Town preview – Two straight victories leave the newly relegated Sulphurites three points short of pole position. Monday saw goalkeeper Luke Hutchinson join from Bolton Wanders on loan for three months.

Tamworth preview – Hovering one point above the dreaded drop zone. Their only National league maximum pointer so far was 3-2 at home to Worthing on Friday 28th August.

Score prediction: Sulphurites succinct 1-0.

Eastleigh v Boreham Wood Prediction

Kick-off: 3pm
Rankings: 10th versus 1st

Eastleigh preview – One point below Play-off considerations. Last Friday’s 2-1 setback at Altrincham ended a three match unbeaten sequence for the Spitfires.

Returning home now, I like the way Eastleigh went viral recently for mowing a striking Spitfire aircraft design directly into the centre circle of their Silverlake Stadium pitch.

Boreham Wood preview – Enjoying a three point buffer. Wood drew their initial League game 3-3 against visitors Tamworth but have won every match since then.

Prolific marksman Matt Rush is the National League’s leading scorer delivering nine goals in only six appearances.

Score prediction: Wood wonders 3-0.

Halifax Town v Hornchurch Prediction

Kick-off: 3pm
Rankings: 17th versus 4th

Halifax Town preview – Two points ahead of relegation peril following two defeats inside three encounters.

Hornchurch preview – Four points off top spot. Their 1-0 home defeat against Forest green Rovers last Saturday overturned two successive wins but the Urchins still progressing nicely after last season’s promotion via the National League South Play-Offs.

Score prediction: Horrid 0-0.

Carlisle United v Southend United Prediction

Kick-off: 5.30pm
Rankings: 14th versus 3rd

Carlisle United preview – Their 2-1 defeat at Boreham Wood last time out arrested a four game unbeaten spree. It leaves the Cumbrian outfit four points shy of Play-Off discussions.

They signed striker Micah Obiero from Wealdstone for an undisclosed fee on Wednesday. He has penned a two year contract.

Southend United preview – A 650 mile round trip. New boss Kieron Dyer returned to winning ways overturning a two game blip by edging visitors Yeovil Town 3-2 last weekend before a crowd of 8,246.

Score prediction: Southend shine 2-0.
