Shaymen have a sharpshooter to make them stand out
Match odds and prediction
Kidderminster Harriers and Halifax Town will tangle at Aggborough in a National League matchup where both clubs are priced the same at 2.46 to win. There's not a great deal to separate the pair, although the draw looks the best bet at 3.28 because the Shaymen have an in-form goal-getter.
Tactical matchup
John McGrath's men will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing the Harriers because the Kidderminster style is built on organisation, sitting deep, maintaining a compact shape and playing on the counterattack. Halifax play a more pro-active 4-2-3-1 system, press well, get their full-backs forward and play wingers that can take the ball at pace, so they should have some joy in the spaces that Kidderminster leave behind their back line.
Form and key player
Zak Gilsenan has been in form for Halifax, netting four times in nine National League games to be the club's top scorer by some margin and providing the Shaymen with the sort of reliable finisher that other clubs on this level are desperate for. They arrive here off the back of a 3-0 home win over Doncaster Rovers in the FA Cup, but that followed a 2-1 away defeat to Solihull Moors in the National League.
Harriers have enough to make this game lumpy
Paul Wotton's hosts aren't in great form themselves with a sequence of two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches. It's not an easy place to go for the Harriers in this contest as Halifax will fancy themselves to have more of the ball, but Kidderminster will be happy to get the game lumpy and pick their moments to play on the break.
- All things considered, this game looks like one for a betting man to avoid with the draw the value bet, although Under 2.5 goals, which is the narrow selection at 1.93, and both teams to score at 1.6 will also appeal.
- Kidderminster have conceded only five goals in five home matches, but can be made to break by the visitors.
