FC Halifax vs Altrincham Match Preview

FC Halifax is ranked at 12th place with 19 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. The recent loss made them drop in ranks and now they sit three points from the last playoff spot.

They have scored 24 goals so far having one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches, they scored a total of 13 goals averaging at least two goals per game and managing to find the back of the net at least once in each duel. Scoring with consistency has been a thing for them at home too as they scored ten goals in the last five matches. After losing the last game, they need to bounce back especially since they will face a direct rival for promotion.

Altrincham, on the other hand, is ranked at 7th place which is the last spot that gives a ticket for the playoffs with 22 points. They come after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. It was some bad luck for them in the most recent draw as they were leading until the final minutes where they conceded a goal and lost two points.

Their offensive side has not been quite prolific with only 14 goals in 15 matches until now and scored five goals in the last five matches averaging at least a goal per game. Now they know that a loss here would complicate their situation so they have to do more in order to avoid that.

In conclusion, I expect this game to have over 2.5 goals. FC Halifax has displayed an offensive football this season and I guess it should be like that even in this match. Scoring a goal is the minimum expected by them considering they are at home. Altrincham has been able to perform better in terms of a cynical team and I expect them to score here since their rivals do not have a very solid defense.
