Halifax v AFC Fylde

Halifax vs AFC Fylde Preview

Halifax managed to bounce back with a win on Saturday in the National League after a two-game winless sequence on the road and the hosts will now be seeking back-to-back wins in the non-league top flight on Tuesday night when they play host to lowly AFC Fylde who sit second from bottom in the National League table and who have also lost their last two games on the trot.

A 1-0 home win against Wealdstone has thrust Halifax up into the play-off pack and into seventh place in the National League table and even better things could be just around the corner for Chris Millington's side as The Shaymen could move as high as fifth place if they take all three points here on Tuesday night and other results go their way as well.

Nevertheless, it looks like Halifax are back in the race for a top seven finish this season after enduring a six-game drought without a win in the National League from early September through to towards the end of that month which consisted of three defeats and three draws.

The hosts have responded in positive fashion by winning five out of their last seven matches overall which includes picking up wins on home soil at The Shay with victories against Kidderminster Harriers, Hartlepool United and of course, Wealdstone.

AFC Fylde's woes continued in the nation's capital on Saturday when they were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Bromley which followed a previous 2-0 defeat at home to York City, so it would be fair to say that confidence levels are not at their highest amongst the Fylde camp right now.

Indeed, the visitors still sit second from bottom in the National League table and now find themselves four points adrift of safety with their situation not about to get any better as they have the thankless task of taking on a confident Halifax outfit at The Shay on Tuesday night.

Having managed to scrape together just two wins from their last nine matches overall, and indeed, just three victories from their previous 17 matches overall, the visitors certainly look to have their work cut out if they're to avoid almost certain defeat here against Halifax.

In addition, AFC Fylde have been dealt 11 defeats within this period as well, thus making this upcoming trip to The Shay a very tough one indeed.

Halifax v AFC Fylde Verdict

With winning momentum behind them in recent weeks along with Fylde's poor results away from home, this upcoming clash should definitely be in favour of Halifax who will be keen to consolidate their position in the play-off pack while AFC Fylde look bereft of confidence heading into this encounter.

Therefore, our main bet will be Halifax win @ 1.95
