Aldershot Town FC

vs

Halifax Town

Preview

Aldershot Town

• Scott Davies took over as Aldershot Town head coach on 1st July 2026 and he has certainly stamped his mark on the club with a high-energy, high-pressing game, which looks to play through the thirds at pace and is capable of causing Halifax Town problems on Saturday.
• The Shots have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 in their last 5 games, so they have only slipped up once in that run.

Halifax Town

• Halifax have been in mixed-to-poor form themselves, winning just 1 of their last 5 (W1, L4) and their two most recent results have been a 4-1 home win over Tamworth FC and a 2-1 defeat to Altrincham.
• John McGrath was appointed Halifax head coach on 1st July 2026 and has instilled a more structured possession approach with players pressing from a back-four foundation, but their road record in the National League has started off very shaky with 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses from 2 fixtures.

Key Players

• Tristan Abrahams is Aldershot's top scorer with 4 National League goals in 3 games.
• Abrahams has scored 4 of Aldershot's last 5 goals.
• Zak Gilsenan is Halifax's top scorer in the National League with 3 in 4.

Betting Insights

• The odds are tight with the hosts 2.22 and the visitors 2.78, while the draw is 3.6.
• Both teams to score is available at 1.6.

Prediction

• This should be a close, but open contest.
• Aldershot's energy and high-speed game should put the pressure on Halifax's organisation and shape.
