Correct score prediction: Halifax 1-0 Woking
Home advantage could be key in a match between two teams that are fairly evenly matched on paper. Halifax's recent record against Woking is also impressive, so at a price of 10/11, it's difficult to turn down the home win.

- DRAW: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Halifax
As mentioned earlier, Halifax have an excellent recent record in this fixture. The Shaymen are unbeaten in their last five matches against Woking, winning four and drawing one. The last time Woking tasted victory against Halifax was back in October 2022, when they beat them 4-0 away from home. A similar result to that would be a huge shock this week.

Halifax preview: Sticking to a winning formula
With no new injuries reported, it is highly likely that Halifax keep on rolling with the same starting XI that beat Yeovil in a five-goal classic at the weekend. Owen Bray scored two of the Shaymen's three goals at the weekend, and will be itching to get back on the pitch on Wednesday night.
Predicted lineup: S.Johnson (GK), Hmami, Tarima, Alimi-Adetoro, Latty-Fairweather, C.Johnson, Turner-Cooke, Bray, Hugill, Cooke, Kawa
Last five results
- Halifax 3-2 Yeovil
- Scunthorpe 1-1 Halifax
- Halifax 1-2 Forest Green
- Boston 1-0 Halifax
- Wealdstone 2-1 Halifax
Woking preview: Ashford to come in?
Woking also come into this match on the back of a victory, so an unchanged starting XI isn't out of the question for the Mariners, either. One man who has staked a claim to come into the team is Sam Ashford, who killed the match against Morecombe with a goal off the bench late in the second half.
Predicted lineup: Norcott (GK), Hinds, Drewe, Odusina, Tunji Akinola, Richards, Andrews, Tim Akinola, Turner, Beautyman, O'Brien
Last five results
- Morecambe 0-2 Woking
- Woking 1-1 York
- Hartlepool 3-0 Woking
- Woking 1-2 Wealdstone
- Scunthorpe 3-1 Woking
Player to watch: David Kawa
David Kawa is seen as a young player to watch in non-league football, and after scoring 11 goals in 10 games for Aveley in the National League South last season, he is adapting well to life in the league above. Kawa has two goals in his first six games for Halifax.
