Competition: National League
Market: FC Halifax win
Odds: 11/10 @ 1xBet
Hoping to skyrocket their way into the play-off places on Wednesday night, Halifax will welcome Morecambe to Yorkshire.
Starting with the hosts, while Halifax might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, the Shaymen haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Last seen over the weekend securing a 2-1 victory at home against Boston, Adam Lakeland’s side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Opening the midweek fixtures sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-seven, the Blues will be looking to make another statement here. Signing off 2025 with a routine 2-0 win away at Tamworth, the Yorkshire-based outfit have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Likewise, suffering just a sole defeat since the end of November, Halifax will also be excited by their extended dominance on home soil. In fact, Wednesday’s hosts have won all of their last three straight showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 8-2. Likewise, Lakeland’s side are unbeaten in all of their previous seven showdowns in Yorkshire (six wins, one draw).
As for the visitors, losing their Football League status last season, Morecambe find themselves at the heart of an extended nightmare. Once again sat in the drop zone and with an almighty battle on their hands in the race to avoid consecutive relegations, the Shrimps have rightfully come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny. Watching their FA Trophy adventure come to a thumping end earlier in the month as they slumped to a woeful 6-2 defeat away at Kidderminster, Wednesday’s guests have also claimed just one-point from any of their previous three National League appearances. Including a 2-1 defeat against Rochdale, the pressure on Ashvir Singh Johal’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Scrapping it out at the foot of the table, Morecambe should also be concerned by their record against the midweek hosts. Hit with a 2-1 loss when they welcomed Halifax to Lancashire back on September 24th, they have failed to win any of their previous three meetings (two defeats, one draw).
