York City (Home)
- York have won 11, drawn four and lost only two of their 17 home matches in the National League 2025-2026.
- York score an eye-catching 3.06 goals per home game on average and concede just 1.06 per game.
Halifax Town (Away)
- Halifax Town have earned four points from their last three away matches.
- Halifax have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 9 of their 17 away games in the National League 2025-2026.
Head-to-Head
- One thing that may have a bearing on this game is that York City failed to beat Halifax Town in their last meeting, with the last H2H finishing 1-1 in Halifax.
- In the last 5, York have one win, while Halifax have won none, but there have been four draws.
- York City play a patient passing style that can become a high-pressing and aggressive style when the ball is won in advanced areas, they can move into some very positive shapes to exploit the wide areas when their opponents press to win the ball back, and they’re very adept at playing with different shapes to keep the opposition guessing.
- Halifax have a much more pragmatic style, with a disciplined, compact mid-block, or even a low-block at times.
Key Players

- Ollie Pearce - 27 goals in 32.
- Will Harris - 16 goals in 29, including 6 in his last 5.

- The two sides face off with York as strong favorites at 1.28, while Halifax are 8.6 outsiders.
- Halifax are 7th with 51 points from 32 games, while York are clear leaders with 74 points from the same number of games.

Prediction
Halifax will no doubt have a chance to frustrate York and keep it close, but I think the home team’s red-hot form, superior home form and attacking quality will be too much for them on Saturday.
