Ebbsfleet face a week that will test their Blue Square Bet South promotion credentials.

Liam Daish’s side welcome two of the division’s high-flying promotion challengers to Stonebridge Road in the next few days.

Fleet, who sit second in the table following Tuesday’s 4-2 win at Hampton, face fourth-placed Farnborough on Saturday and then play-off chasing Eastleigh three days later.

"They are big games and will be massive for us," said Daish. "The last time we played Farnborough it was a little bit too open for me although we won the game 2-1.

"We then play Eastleigh who we haven’t played yet."

Tuesday's win, combined with a 3-1 success at Dover last weekend, showed that Fleet are promotion contenders and Daish just wants to keep the pressure on.

He said: "We’ve got to keep in there and we’ll do that by winning games and putting pressure on those teams around us.

"There is still a lot of football to play and a lot can happen. We’ve just got to keep focused on the next game.

"Other teams are going to have injury problems and lack form and confidence – we just need to get through games unscathed.

"There are some decent sides in and around us and if we keep performing well then we give ourselves a chance of winning."
