Shaymen and U’s to Share the Spoils
Halifax Town and Sutton United FC are well matched in the early-season National League standings, with the Shaymen in 13th place on nine points from seven games and the U's in ninth with 12 points from the same number of matches.
Halifax are the favorites at 2.28, but Sutton are just as good a bet at 2.64, and the tie at 3.42 looks the way to go in this fixture. Halifax have failed to win either of their last two home games against Sutton, and the U's know how to make life awkward for the home side on their own patch.
The Shaymen have been solid in their opening few games in the National League 2026-2027, with three wins and two defeats in their last five, while Sutton have been less consistent with two wins and three defeats in their most recent five.
Halifax have the home edge
John McGrath has Halifax playing in a progressive style that is high tempo, based on fitness, energy and aggression on the ball in transition. Chris Agutter has Sutton set up as a compact, defence-first team that will sit off, remain disciplined and attack with purpose on the counter.
That should see the two teams cancel each other out in the midfield, so this could well be a close match. Halifax are the slight favorites due to home edge, and Sutton arrive on the back of a three-game losing streak that includes defeats to Wealdstone, Barrow and Scunthorpe United.
That's why we are taking the hosts to get the win this Saturday in the West Yorkshire town of Halifax. But as both teams to score at 1.6 looks the sharper option in this matchup, while Over 2.5 goals is still live at 1.75.
Sutton have the sharper edge
Key players
- Zak Gilsenan is Halifax's main man with four National League 2026/2027 goals to his name so far, with three of those strikes coming in their last five games.

- David Ogbonna leads Sutton's scoring in the National League 2026/2027 with two goals in seven games, but he needs more service from a blunt attack.
