Tamworth (home)
- Tamworth FC have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Tamworth are unbeaten in their last two home matches, including a dramatic FA Trophy penalty shootout win and a 2-1 league victory over Southend United.
- Andy Peaks has fashioned a physical, disciplined side that’s tough to break down and is more than capable of scoring on the counter.
- They can do so with some real pace in the final third, but Tamworth are not a team who will press high up the field in search of possession.
- Instead, they will look to create a deep, compact unit and defend well, leaving it up to their set pieces and long balls to unsettle the visitors.
Halifax (away)
- Halifax Town have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.
- The visitors will not want to play into their hands and Adam Lakeland’s early signs of a possession-based, structure-first approach seem well suited to this clash.
- Town are winless in their last trip and have won just one of their last five National League away games.
- They average just 0.92 goals per game away from home and that won’t be enough to get them a result here.
Head-to-Head
Halifax Town have won the last two meetings between the sides with a 2-1 win away from home coming ten months ago.
Key Players
