Sides can trade blows at Grosvenor Vale
Wealdstone and Halifax are two of the National League's 2026-2027 season's struggling sides and their battle at Grosvenor Vale on Tuesday is likely to produce a close game. The Stones are 19th with five points from six games and Halifax are 18th with six points from the same number of matches.
It's a close enough league fixture that we have to go with goals when the bookmakers present the option. The over 2.5 goals market is priced at 1.67 while both teams to score – Yes looks good at 1.52.
The head-to-head matches up nicely with Wealdstone having won three of the last five meetings between these two sides, although the Shaymen have not won any of those contests.
Stalemate feel about this fixture
Market view
The draw is live at 3.4 here and that seems to suit a game where neither team has been fully convincing in their opening half a dozen fixtures.
Wealdstone's setup and form
Gary Waddock has the Stones set up in a pragmatic system with three at the back and the wing-backs running at and behind the visitors when they have the ball. They transition quickly and can hurt you with their pace, but the attack has been grinding rather than blazing in the National League this term.
Micah Obiero is their main danger man with three goals in six league appearances, but he has three of the team's five goals in the last five so Wealdstone will need him to keep scoring.
The hosts are winless in their last three home league matches (D1, L2) but they have still averaged 1.00 goal per game at home in the National League. Halifax are also averaging 1.00 goal per away game after taking nothing from three trips away.
Shaymen need Zak to be on his game
John McGrath's men are a flexible, work rate and organization side that can hurt you on the counter-attack and in the wide channels where they can get numbers in behind.
They are a boom-and-bust side, but 2 wins and 3 losses from their last five isn't bad when you're trying to stay afloat.
- Zak Gilsenan leads the scoring for Halifax with three in six, so he will have to be on his toes for the Shaymen to take anything from this game.
- Halifax's two most recent league fixtures were a 1-0 home win over Hartlepool United and a 1-0 away defeat to Aldershot Town.
- Ben Tollitt has chipped in with two goals for them in the same period so he is another man that can do damage in the final third.
