Halifax Town form and stats

The story so far in the National League for Halifax Town at their home stadium (The Shay Stadium) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Halifax has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at The Shay Stadium. We remember; it was Maidenhead United.

A nice win for Halifax last time playing, versus Notts County. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with J. Slew, M. Warburton and B. Waters scoring for the victors. The game against Notts County had lots of late drama as Halifax Town came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through M. Warburton's goal in the 90th minute. Things did not look good last match, when T. Bradbury got a red card in the 60th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Halifax resulted in a win! The victory against Notts County came after M. Warburton's winning goal. The Halifax manager P. Wild was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 62nd minute. A late climax in the match against Notts County as the winning goal came ten minutes into overtime; scored by M. Warburton.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Barnet that finished 0-0.

Goals decide football matches and Halifax are scoring many of them at home; 12 on target from 5 league matches. 5 goals have been conceded.

Weymouth form and stats

1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Weymouth in their National League matches away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Weymouth are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Weymouth, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Bromley (placed 6th).

A loss against Stockport County was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Weymouth have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 7 goals have been scored. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Weymouth concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

Head to head data (for the previous six meetings): Halifax won four games, zero matches ended with a tie and Weymouth managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / one
