On Sunday, Maidenhead United will play their last National League game when they welcome Notts County to York Road with kickoff at 5 pm.
It may not be fighting for promotion this season, but Maidenhead United has the chance to move further up the National League table with a victory on Sunday.
The club is currently 16th in the division, but three points could lead them above Woking if they slip up, while a defeat could lead to them falling to 18th. Despite being in the bottom half of the table, the Magpies head into this match in great form, putting together a seven-match unbeaten run.
The last time Alan Devonshire’s men played a team in the playoff positions, they secured three points. Maidenhead beat Grimsby Town 3-1, with an own goal from Luke Waterfall, while Sam Barratt and Ryan Upward also got themselves on the scoresheet in that match.
As they make the trip to York Road this Sunday, Notts County will hope to stay unbeaten. The Magpies have already secured a place in the playoffs. Now the focus shifts to building up confidence and momentum heading into that game. Ian Burchnall’s team has been dominant as of late, and they come into this one on the back of consecutive victories, which also saw them keep two clean sheets.

Emile Acquah will lead the line for Maidenhead on Sunday as he looks to fire his team into another positive result to wrap up the season. Devonshire could keep the same starting lineup from the team that defeated Grimsby, with none of those players having any major fitness concerns.
