Wealdstone (home)
- Wealdstone and Halifax have been two of the worst performing National League clubs in the opening six matches of 2026-2027 and have a real chance to turn their campaigns around when they square off on Tuesday.
- The Stones are 19th in the table with 5 points from 6 games, while the Shaymen are 18th on 6 points after 6, so this will feel like a battle for two clubs in the same divisional neighborhood.
- Gary Waddock has set Wealdstone up in a pragmatic back three system with wing-backs and plenty of high-low and fast-paced transitioning.
- The hosts are likely to lean on Micah Obiero's ability to finish.
- Obiero is Wealdstone's danger man with 3 goals in 6 National League matches, but he's also responsible for 3 of their 5 goals in the last 5 games.
- Wealdstone haven't exactly been banging them in this term and they'll need the veteran to do his thing again here.
Halifax (away)
- Halifax have won two and lost three of their last 5 National League fixtures, a record.
- John McGrath's side have a flexible system that is built around an organisational foundation, plenty of work rate and the clever use of the channels.
- Zak Gilsenan has been Halifax's key forward threat so far with 3 goals in 6 league matches and Ben Tollitt has chipped in with 2 of the club's 6 goals in the last 5 fixtures.
Head-to-Head
Wealdstone have won 3 of the 5 meetings with Halifax, drawing 2 and Halifax none, and the 2-2 draw at Halifax's ground in National League 2025/2026 is a useful reminder that these two can trade blows.
