Halifax Town form and stats

9 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Halifax Town have to build on here at The Shay Stadium in the National League. When Halifax Town hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Notts County, Boreham Wood, Bromley, Woking, Eastleigh, Chesterfield and Barnet), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

The Halifax Town boss Millington and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Altrincham in the Fa Trophy.

Before that, Halifax had a National League home game versus Aldershot Town which ended with a victory 2-0.

Low on goals? In this team's last 15 league games, 12 have had zero, one or two goals.

There will be little rest for Halifax Town after this match as they are travelling to York City for a National League game in only three days.

Halifax Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 19 games. On the other hand, Halifax have conceded 20 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Wrexham form and stats

Wrexham's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Wrexham collect 42 points from their 20 away matches in the National League. 12 victories and 6 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). In general it has been a productive period now for Wrexham as they haven't lost any of their last 28 games.

O'Connell, Lee and Mullin scored in Wrexham's previous match, the home game against Oldham Athletic that ended 5-1. As mentioned above, Wrexham was the only team on the pitch versus Oldham Athletic in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task. Mullin certainly enjoyed Wrexham's last game versus Oldham Athletic, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-1 victory.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against York City.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 16 of this side's 18 most recent league games have ended with three goals or more.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wrexham are hosting Notts County in the National League only three days away.

{40 goals} so far away for Wrexham, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 20. All from 20 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Wrexham have won every one of the 4 latest fixtures against this side. Another win today?

The two combatants have met previously this season: Wrexham - Halifax Town 3-1.
