Halifax Town
- 8th-placed Halifax Town (62pts from 41 games) will be looking to push on into the top-half and beyond under the guidance of new boss Adam Lakeland, whose pragmatic approach to the game has seen the Shaymen adopt a structure-first mindset this season.
- Lakeland’s side are disciplined and compact when out of possession, often employing a mid-block and selective pressing when out of position, but they’re not a team that are looking to dominate possession either.
- Creative midfielder Will Harris has been their primary goal scorer this campaign.
- He has scored 21 times in 38 National League games and has three goals in his last five.
- Lynch has nine in 38 appearances, a decent return for an attacking player plying his trade at this level, and has scored three in his last five.
Tamworth FC
- Andy Peaks has done an excellent job consolidating 11th place in the National League this term (54pts from 41 games) following their recent promotion.
- He has built a team that are disciplined, tough to break down, and have the ability to punish teams in transition.
- The Lambs have set up to do one thing: defend well.
- They set up in numbers, offer direct outlets when they’re under pressure, and are quick on the counter.
- However, they’re not an expansive side and prefer to carve out their chances in set-piece situations and in the air where they can utilise their physicality.
Head-to-Head
- Halifax Town have won three head-to-head meetings in a row, including a 2-0 victory in the away match three months ago.
- Tamworth FC have a poor away record in National League 2025-2026 and have lost 11 times away from home this season.

Betting Insights
- Halifax are slight favourites for this match at 2.02 and Tamworth are 3.5 to take the win on Monday.
- We think the hosts are likely to dominate this clash given their superior home record (W10, D6, L5), but we’re going to take the better value on the Lambs, who have won two consecutive games.
- They beat Forest Green Rovers 1-0 at home and followed that with a 1-0 win at Brackley Town.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals at 2.02 is an excellent price considering the defensive styles of both teams.
