The Shaymen have had Boston’s number lately
Halifax update
Zak Gilsenan's goals are powering Halifax Town up the National League 2026/2027 table, with the club currently sat 13th on 13 points from 9 matches. John McGrath's men have shown themselves to be a versatile unit that can control games but also press in waves and transition quickly, with their most important player, Gilsenan, running the show and scoring 4 National League 2026/2027 goals.
McGrath's side have kept things tidy at home in this division (W3, D1, L1), and conceded just 5 goals across their last 5 home fixtures. Their most recent 3 games at the Shay has seen them continue their impressive form in this location, taking 2 wins and a draw from the most recent 3 (W2, D1).
Boston outlook
Boston United have also been impressive on the pitch this season, but have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 from their most recent 5 matches across all competitions. Paul Hurst has his side playing a disciplined 4-3-3 system, using the wide areas effectively to stretch teams out and keeping the ball moving when in possession.
Kenneth Aboh has been the Pilgrims' main outlet in attack, with the striker scoring 3 goals in 9 National League 2026/2027 games. Aboh will be looking to exploit gaps in Halifax Town's defence, as they will be more likely to make mistakes in an open game.
Halifax have a good thing rolling at the Shay
Halifax are the sharper side in form and look the more likely to win this match at 2.33, while Boston are still a threat on the counter and can score a goal in what should be an open match.
Recent trends
We're expecting both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in this contest at 1.73 and Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.6, with Halifax able to eke out a win in a high-energy match.
- Boston have had a record on the road in the National League 2026/2027, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1, and they have conceded 5 goals in this time, an average of 1.25 per game.
- Boston haven't had much success on the road in this fixture in recent seasons, and The Pilgrims' lack of winning spirit on their recent trips to face Halifax Town could come back to bite them once more.
- The hosts have won the last 2 meetings, and can take advantage of Boston's weak record in this head-to-head at home.
