Verdict

Torquay’s attackers have been firing on all cylinders, and that should result in goals at both ends when they visit Notts County.

The Gulls have scored ten goals in their last three matches, all of which have been wins, and four in each of their last two road trips.

They are the division’s joint-top scorers and that has helped them to rising to sixth place.

Notts County have drawn a blank only twice all season and have turned Meadow Lane into a fortress, keeping clean sheets in their last four home matches.

However, they have secured only one away shutout and Torquay have the firepower to break through.

Barrow have been in flying form with seven straight wins, and will fancy their chances of extending that run against Dover after the Whites were smashed 4-0 at Aldershot on Tuesday.

The hero for Barrow has been striker Scott Quigley, who has found the net seven times in their last six games and is the league’s top scorer.

Given Dover’s defensive struggles, he looks a good price to add to his tally.

Bradford Park Avenue were thumped 8-0 by Brackley in the National League North last week and the Lancashire side could be in for another tough afternoon when they take on Hereford.

The hosts have had an awful start to the season, scoring the fewest goals in the league and conceding the most.

Hereford go into the game on a three-match winning run which has seen them break into the playoff places. They should add another three points.
