FC Halifax Preview – Can Shaymen take 1st leg honours?
FC Halifax were handed a 2-0 defeat by National League title winners, Stockport County, on the final day of the regular season but the hosts hold home advantage once more for this play-off quarter final 1st leg at The Shay looking to redeem themselves.
However, Halifax have won just five out of their last 12 matches overall but the hosts form at home has been pretty solid; Halifax are unbeaten in their last 10 home games and have kept seven clean sheets within this sequence as well, so they’ll be tough to beat at home.
Chesterfield Preview – Can Spireites pull themselves together?
Chesterfield limped rather than cruised through the finish line at the end of the National League regular season as the visitors ended their campaign without a win in their last four matches overall, losing three of these games with defeats incurred against Bromley, Stockport County and Torquay United.
Interestingly, three of the last four games have also resulted in under 2.5 goals and as Chesterfield have registered just three wins out of their last 13 matches overall, the prospects of an away win here seem slim; however, the goals market appeals here as 14 of chesterfield’s 22 away games have also ended in under 2.5 goals.
