FC Halifax Town welcome Southend United at The Shay Stadium, Halifax, West Yorkshire on Saturday, Jan 2 at 4:00 PM in a National League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
FC Halifax Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Southend United, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, FC Halifax Town face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Southend United have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Southend United won 6–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Halifax Town a slight edge, but Southend United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
