Halifax Town form and stats

5-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League numbers at home for Halifax Town so far this season.

Halifax Town's last game was hosting Wrexham (placed 21st) and winning 4-0. A Vanarama National League defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Yeovil Town.

As mentioned above, Halifax Town "killed" Wrexham in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

This is expected to be a close game, with Halifax Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Halifax Town as a small favourite), we find eight games. Halifax Town has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

The Halifax Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. On the other hand, Halifax Town have conceded 14 goals.
