General match analysis
Halifax Town have clearly superior recent momentum: they have collected 10 points from their last five matches, with 3 wins, a draw and just one defeat, while Boston United have taken 5 points over the same period. The hosts are also significantly more solid defensively, conceding just 2 goals in their last five games compared with 10 by the visitors. At home, Halifax win 60% of their matches, score an average of 2 goals and produce 5.2 shots on target per game with 52% possession. Boston also average 2 goals away from home and have a 22% shot conversion rate, but allow opponents chances worth an average xG of 1.80, compared with 1.27 for Halifax. The hosts’ advantage in form, game control and current defensive performance points to a Halifax win, although Boston’s attacking potential increases the risk of conceding a goal.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The seasonal BTTS rate stands at 60% for Halifax and as high as 75% for Boston, compared with the league average of 66%, providing a moderately strong signal for goals from both sides. Boston has failed to score in none of its matches this season, while its average of 2.0 goals per game aligns well with Halifax’s 20% clean-sheet rate. The hosts average 1.0 goal per match, but Boston allows opponents an xG of 1.80 and has conceded 10 goals in its last five games, giving Halifax a clear chance to respond. In addition, Boston recorded BTTS in 100% of its last five matches and conceded an average of 2.0 goals during that run, although caution is warranted due to Halifax’s strong recent defensive form, with just 0.4 goals conceded on average over the same period. Nevertheless, the seasonal data advantage and the visitors’ current defensive weakness make a goal from both teams the more likely scenario.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Boston averages 2.0 goals per match and has scored in every game, while Halifax concedes an average of 1.6 goals, providing a solid foundation for the away side to score. The hosts generate 1.72 xG per match, while Boston’s defense allows opponents 1.80 xG, so Halifax should also create enough chances.

Halifax has been better organized defensively recently, conceding just 0.4 goals on average across five matches, but their opponents have averaged 1.67 xG and 1.8 goals scored during this period.

View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Halifax Town win, as the hosts were level at the break in 4 of their last 5 matches and conceded an average of 0.0 goals before half-time during this period. Halifax have clearly improved their form, winning 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring an average of 1.2 goals and conceding just 0.4, while Boston United have lost 40% of their matches and conceded an average of 2.0 goals. After the break, the hosts have recently scored 1.0 goal per match while conceding just 0.4, whereas the visitors have conceded an average of 1.2 goals in second halves and lost 60% of those periods. Boston remain dangerous, having averaged 2.0 goals per match over the season and led at half-time in 50% of their games, but Halifax’s current form advantage and second-half efficiency point towards a turnaround or a draw being decided in the hosts’ favour.
