Dartford boss Tony Burman expects Ebbsfleet to win promotion in this Saturday’s National League South play-off final.

Fleet host Chelmsford, who beat Darts in a two-legged semi-final, at Stonebridge Road and Burman is predicting Daryl McMahon’s men – who finished second in the league – will take the second promotion place.

"When we were second to Woking (in 2012) the play-off final result was right," said Burman.

"Since Christmas, Ebbsfleet have been excellent and you have to give credit to Daryl, he has conducted himself very well.

"You’ve got to fancy Ebbsfleet because they have been playing so well."

Ebbsfleet’s last defeat came at Princes Park against Burman’s Dartford side on Boxing Day.

"I know we are the last team to beat them but that’s a credit to Ebbsfleet," added Burman.

"I think they’ve gone from a very big squad to a not so big. Sometimes a big squad can cause you too many problems.

"They’ve got some quality players and have kept a group together which is what we all try to do."
