Altrincham
- Altrincham and Halifax Town will be two teams desperate for a boost, as The Robins have suffered three straight defeats following two 1-0 away losses to Sutton United and Boston United.
- The pressure is on Neil Gibson's men, who have lost all three of their opening National League 2026/2027 games and scored just one goal in the process.
Halifax Town
- Halifax Town have a better record than their opponents in the same period - two wins and three defeats in their last five across all competitions.
- Halifax Town have also had an up-and-down start to the 2026-2027 season, as a 4-1 home win over Tamworth was sandwiched between a 1-3 home defeat to Boreham Wood - results that have left them 16th in the table.
Key Players
- Tom Crawford
- Tom Crawford needs service if The Robins are to get on the board in this contest.
- Zak Gilsenan
- Zak Gilsenan is Halifax Town's main threat in the National League 2026/2027 with three goals in three games, while the striker also has three of The Shaymen's eight goals in their last five matches across all competitions, making him a constant threat in the final third.
Head-to-Head
Halifax are in slightly better form than their hosts and have a much better record in this head-to-head, although the last two meetings were very tight.
Betting Insights
We can't see this being a game with too many goals and Under 2.5 goals at 1.97 looks the sharper option of the two markets, but we're taking The Shaymen for the win at 2.6 rather than Altrincham at 2.5 or the draw at 3.4 .
