Halifax vs Chesterfield Betting Tips: BTTS

After a rough beginning to the year, Halifax has made an impressive recovery. They’ve had an impeccable series of results in recent weeks, scoring an astounding 18 points out of a potential 21 in their last seven league games. This has reignited their ambitions for a finish in the top seven.

The Shaymen, one of the top three teams in the fifth tier of English football, are just one point away from the final playoff spot currently occupied by Gateshead. They aim to extend their home winning streak to four matches, having previously defeated Maidenhead, Woking, and Boreham Wood, all with identical 2-1 scorelines.

Chris Willington’s team has been on a scoring spree recently, lighting up the scoreboard in eight out of their last nine NL games. Impressively, they have scored more than two goals in five of their last six league wins. They aim to continue this offensive surge with a new strategy designed to disrupt the league leaders.

Chesterfield has had a commanding performance in this year’s National League, sweeping through the season like a high-speed train. With only seven games remaining in the regular part of the 2023-24 campaign, they boasted an impressive record of 29 wins in their 39 league matches. This performance has effortlessly ended a six-year drought, securing their return to League Two (fourth tier).

Sitting comfortably at the top of the fifth-tier table, the Spireites have a substantial lead of 24 points over Barnet, who are in second place. They’ve already started to prepare the celebratory champagne, anticipating a title win and promotion to a higher division. However, they’re undeniably striving to end the season with a three-digit point haul, mirroring last season’s NL champions, Wrexham, who amassed 111 points.

Paul Cook’s team, known for their relentless offense, is just five goals away from hitting a three-digit score this season, asserting themselves as the most lethal attacking line in non-league. Despite their offensive prowess, their defense appears to be a weak point. In two of their last four visits to enemy territory, they’ve conceded four goals, suggesting a vulnerability at the back.

With just one published clean sheet in their last nine away outings across any competition, conceding 2+ on six occasions in that span, the unburdened Spireites will find it challenging to shore up their vulnerability at the back against a full-of-confidence Halifax, especially a side firing on all cylinders in recent weeks. Anticipation is palpable at The Shay, with fans eagerly awaiting an action-packed contest featuring a flurry of goals from both sides, creating an electric atmosphere.
