20/03: Daily Predictions: Halifax Town vs Chesterfield

Betting Tips

Chesterfield will play Halifax Town at The Shay on Wednesday with the chance to win the National League title; a point would put the visitors out of contention at the top of the table with six games remaining, while their hosts will look to crash the playoff spots after back-to-back victories. Halifax Town returned to The Shay on Wednesday to extend an impressive run of form in their National League playoff pursuit.

Halifax Town vs Chesterfield

Halifax can prevent National League leaders Chesterfield from earning the three points necessary to win the championship in what looks to be an exciting match between two teams that have recently developed a rivalry.

Even though the Spireites finished 10 points behind the West Yorkshire team, they managed to eliminate the Shaymen from the end-of-season play-offs two years prior. The two usually fight tightly together, and this season’s encounter at Chesterfield’s ended with a 3-2 victory for the hosts, with both teams down to 10 men at the end of play.

Both clubs are playing well, and Halifax may be getting ready for this matchup better after winning six of their previous seven games. Chesterfield, who only narrowly missed promotion to League Two in the previous season’s playoff final due to a penalty shootout, has had an incredible season as they attempt to return to England’s fourth division. They have dominated the National League for nearly the whole season, finishing first with 92 points from 39 games.

Verdict

Since August, Paul Cook’s team has dominated the division, amassing 92 points from 39 games to put them in position to earn immediate promotion back to the Football League.

However, Chesterfield’s away record has recently declined, having lost three of their previous four games. This makes Halifax’s chances of winning more likely.  While Cook’s team’s 4-1 loss at second-bottom Dorking Wanderers at the beginning of March was understandable, the Spireites’ 4-3 loss at third-place Bromley last month was not, and they rallied from a 2-0 tie to earn a draw at Oldham.

Given how similar the Latics and Halifax are, a high-scoring tie is possible today, especially considering that the teams’ season-opening match ended in a 2-2 draw that required a stoppage-time winner to break the deadlock. It will be difficult for the unburdened Spireites to shore up their vulnerability at the back against a confident Halifax team, especially since they have only kept one clean sheet in their last nine away games in all competitions and have conceded two goals or more on six of those occasions.

Halifax has been playing exceptionally well in recent weeks. The Shay is buzzing with excitement as supporters anticipate an exciting match featuring many goals from both teams. This is surely making for a thrilling environment.
