    Wrexham can secure the National League title when they host Boreham Wood live on BT Sport (1830) on Saturday evening.

    With just two games to go in the National League season, a win would secure promotion for the Red Dragons. However, it won't be easy as they host a Boreham Wood side with play-off aspirations at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday evening.
    It has been a record-breaking season for Wrexham, who are likely to top 110 points. Meanwhile, second-placed Notts County could reach 109, with the two sides scoring a combined total of 223 goals.
    Wrexham followed up their victory over County with a 0-0 draw away to Barnet and a 3-0 home win over relegated Yeovil Town.
    Although it may feel like Wrexham are already there, the Welsh club won't be able to take their foot off the gas. Notts County host rock-bottom Maidstone on Saturday and should pick up three points.
    Recommended Bet: Wrexham win and over 2.5 goals
    Boreham Wood are travelling to North Wales intending to spoil the promotion party. Luke Garrard's side should only need two points from three games to secure a play-off spot.
    Wrexham's unbeaten run at home reached 45 games with their victory over Yeovil, so it would take a brave person to bet against them here.
    Phil Parkinson's men have found the net 71 times in front of their home fans, which averages out at 3.22 goals per game. They have scored at least twice in all but two home matches.
    Boreham Wood are big underdogs but you shouldn't ignore their form on their travels. They are unbeaten in 17 of their 22 away league games this season.
    Their resilience has been on show in previous meetings with the top two sides. On their patch, Garrard's men drew 1-1 with Notts County and 2-2 with Wrexham.
    They were under the cosh for the majority of their visit to Meadow Lane, but a 44th-minute goal from George Broadbent was enough to claim another point. They also spent 90 minutes under the cosh at Bristol Rovers, where they beat the League One side 2-0 in the FA Cup.
    They should be able to draw on those experiences to avoid being overawed by the occasion and their goalscoring record on their travels suggests they may score.
