The Shay Stadium prepares to host a National League clash as FC Halifax Town lock horns with Woking, in a fixture laden with importance for both teams. Each side will be eager to secure a victory that could significantly influence their season’s trajectory.
FC Halifax Town approach the match buoyed by recent form, having avoided defeat in their last two games. Their attack has been in fine fettle, finding the net in each of their last five outings. However, their earlier form reveals a mixed bag of results: two wins, one draw, and three losses from their six games played.
Woking, equally intent on building upon recent improvements, are also undefeated in their last two matches, scoring in both. Despite this, their form shows one win, one draw, and four defeats from their opening six fixtures.
Historically, FC Halifax Town have enjoyed the better of this contest, claiming four wins to Woking’s one, with one draw in their six encounters over the past three seasons. Last season saw FC Halifax Town secure a 1-0 victory on home turf, thanks to an Angelo Capello goal. The return fixture resulted in a goalless draw.
In the league standings, FC Halifax Town currently occupy 15th position with seven points, having scored seven goals but conceded ten, resulting in a goal difference of -3. Woking languish further down the table in 21st place, with four points. They have scored five goals and conceded eleven, leaving them with a goal difference of -6.
A win for FC Halifax Town would see them climb the table, boosting team morale and reinforcing their recent positive performances. For Woking, victory would mark a vital step in their recovery, providing a much-needed surge of confidence and potentially lifting them away from the lower reaches of the league. A draw would offer scant satisfaction to either side, leaving them embroiled in a congested mid-table battle.
