Saturday's Blue Square South preview

Steve King's Lewes side will have the chance to reclaim top spot on the Blue Square South table while rock-bottom Sutton target their second win of the season.

Basingstoke Town v St Albans City

The Dragons will be keen to bounce back from last weekend's home defeat when Dave Anderson's St Albans City make the trip to the Camrose Ground on Saturday afternoon.

They currently occupy 11th place on the Blue Square South table and a victory would bring them within striking distance of the play-off places.

The Saints have made a disappointing start to the season and currently find themselves in the drop zone with 11 points from 16 matches.

Blue SQ have given the home side odds of 15/2 on a 2-1 win.

Bath City v Bishop's Stortford

Bath City return from a two-week break this weekend and face a stern test with the visit of in-form Bishop's Stortford to Twerton Park.

Scott Partridge was subbed off in Bath's 7-0 win over Clevedon United in midweek with a calf complaint and may not be risked on Saturday.

Lewis Hogg was taken off in the same match and will be on the treatment table for a while, with an ankle injury.

Blue SQ have odds of 12/1 on the match ending in a 2-2 draw.

Braintree Town v Bognor Regis Town

The Iron will be looking to close the gap on the play-off zone with a win over visiting Bognor Regis Town this weekend.

Despite being dangerously close to the relegation places, Bognor are still unbeaten in the league and will be determined to keep their record in tact.

Albion striker Sam Gargan is poised to make his league debut for the Rocks after joining on a month's loan this week.

Portuguese player Saulo Parreira also signed for Bognor this week and could play some part in the fixture.

Blue SQ have given the home side odds of 7/1 on a 2-1 win.

Bromley v Newport County

Mark Goldberg's Bromley squad prepare for the visit of Newport County to Hayes Lane and a win could see them claim a promotion play-off spot.

Left-sided player Theo Davis and central midfielder Luke I'Anson are expected to play some part in the fixture after playing in the Setanta Shield at Maidenhead United in midweek.

Newport re-signed former fans favourite Tonny Pennock in midweek and the goalkeeper is expected to take a place on the bench.

Blue SQ have odds of 13/2 on the match ending in a 1-1 draw.

Cambridge City v Eastleigh

Cambridge City play host to Eastleigh at Milton Road on Saturday afternoon as they look to move into the top-half of the table with a win.

They are currently in 14th place with 19 points while their opponents have an impressive record of 25 points from 15 fixtures.

Eastleigh secured the loan services of Ebbsfleet United defender Warren Goodhind this week and the South African is expected to make his debut for the Spitfires with a number of key players injured.

Blue SQ have given the visitors odds of 9/1 on a 2-1 win.

Dorchester Town v Hampton & Richmond

The Magpies have made a stuttering start to the season and will be keen to make amends for their embarrassing defeat at the hands of Hampton & Richmond in the Setanta Shield.

Dorchester slumped to a 5-2 defeat at the Beveree Stadium on Tuesday night and they will have the chance to prove their worth on Saturday.

Blue SQ have odds of 13/2 on the encounter ending in a 1-1 draw.

Eastbourne Borough v Thurrock

Hakan Hayrettin's Thurrock squad travel to Priory Lane this weekend and they will certainly face a tough test from league leaders Eastbourne Borough.

Eastbourne have made a brilliant start to their campaign, collecting 32 points from 14 matches, while their opponents sit in the bottom half of the table with 19 points from 15 games.

Thurrock secured the loan services of Paul Bruce from Dagenham and Redbridge this week and the left-sided player is expected to make his debut on Saturday afternoon.

Hayrettin told the club's official website: "Paul is a Conference Premier standard player and we are fortunate to have him playing for us.

"These recent signings show my personal ambitions and those of Thurrock Football Club."

Blue SQ have given the home side odds of 10/1 on a 3-1 victory.

Havant & Waterlooville v Fisher Athletic

The Hawks play host to Fisher Athletic at Westleigh Park this weekend with just one point separating the two teams in mid-table.

Havant could hand a league debut to new signing Chamal Fenelon after he made his first appearance for the club in the midweek defeat to Lewes in the Setanta shield.

He came on as a substitute to replace fellow striker Rocky Baptiste and made a positive impression on proceedings despite the defeat.

The Fish have made a decent start to their campaign and currently occupy a mid-table berth with 21 points from 16 fixtures.

Blue SQ have odds of 13/2 on the home side edging it 1-0.

Hayes & Yeading v Sutton United

Hayes & Yeading will be looking to open a bigger gap on the dreaded drop zone on Saturday afternoon when rock-bottom Sutton united travel to Church Road.

Manager Garry Haylock is missing the services of on-loan duo Tom Cadmore and Steven Gregory, as they have returned to Wycombe Wanderers.

Sutton boss Ernie Howe has been given some transfer funds in a bid to turn around his side's dismal fortunes and he has brought in Craig Dundas from Carshalton Athletic.

Blue SQ have given the home side odds of 13/2 on a 2-0 win.

Welling United v Maidenhead United

The Wings will still be buzzing after booking their place in the next round of the Setanta Shield with a 2-1 win over Fisher Athletic.

They prepare for the visit of struggling Maidenhead United to Park View Road, hoping for a repeat of Tuesday's result.

Tony Sinclair looks set to be out until March after he suffered a dislocated knee cap while Robbie Ryan will be out for two weeks with a hamstring injury.

Blue SQ favour the home side's chances with odds of 15/2 on a 2-1 win.

Weston-Super-Mare v Lewes

Tony Ricketts' Weston-Super-Mare and high-flying Lewes face off in what should be an exciting encounter at Woodspring Stadium.

Rooks boss Steve King will be keen for his side to reclaim pole position on the Blue Square South table as they trail leaders Eastbourne by a single point.

King will miss the services of Leroy Griffith's after he joined League One side Gillingham on a short-term loan deal.

Blue SQ have odds of 13/2 on the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
