Southend, Dagenham and Barnet most likely away winners (though Dagenham's pitiful form suggests otherwise).
Tightest match on paper is at the Victoria Ground. #oafc have to win if they are serious about pushing for promotion. And Hartlepool will think the same...

Happy New Year! This year, I'm going to fix the issue with Dagenham & Redbridge, but in the meantime, it's NYD in the National League.
One relative home banker happened already yesterday - Solihull beating Tamworth. Halifax, Wealdstone and FGR are the others today.
Toss up for #oafc at Hartlepool.

What is tomorrow looking like in the National League?
Eastleigh and Rochdale the most likely home wins, followed by Forest Green and Barnet, Solihull then York and Hartlepool.
Gateshead most likely away winners, followed by #oafc and Altrincham.

Bonus content: what if we use these probabilities to calculate expected points to the end of the season? Add those to current points, what are the final standings?
No great surprises really given current standings/strengths: Barnet, York, FGR, Gateshead, #oafc. Will it really remain like that?

Couple of weeks since I last produced these. What's going to happen in the National League?
It's "don't slip up day": the top 5 all play against teams towards the bottom of the table. York's trip looks the toughest on paper - but who knows what'll happen?

Really gutted that #oafc lost 2-1 to @leytonorientfc.bsky.social in the FA Cup this afternoon, but for me it'll be a day I doubt I'll forget.
I was asked to step in for Latics legend Roy Butterworth on the LaticsPlayer commentary this afternoon!

What's going to happen in the National League tomorrow night? Plenty of games on. We (#oafc) have to be expecting to beat Boston United (prob=66%), Gateshead the other biggest favourites against Rochdale.
