Halifax Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Halifax Town's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 17 away games in the National League. Halifax Town only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws.

Halifax had fun at their own home (Westhumble Playing Fields) last time out, beating Wealdstone 5-0. Cooke, Golden, Stott (2) and Alli scored. Those three points felt good as this side had gone five league rounds without winning. As mentioned above, Halifax Town was the only team on the pitch versus Wealdstone in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Maidenhead United.

Halifax Town have another fixture away from home in just three sleeps, a National League game against Gateshead. A strenuous fixture list for the visitors!

The attacking power of Halifax Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 17 league matches away. As opposed to that, Halifax have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
