That likely won\u2019t be the case for Chesterfield, however, as the \u2018Spireites\u2019 ran out the league on a four game winless run and will need to turn things around quickly if they\u2019re going to progress in this tie.<\/p>\n The two sides have met twice this year already with Halifax winning 2-0 at home against Chesterfield just last month and a 1-1 draw taking place at Technique Stadium back in December.<\/p>\n Huge Loss For Chesterfield In Attack<\/h3>\nChesterfield\u2019s top scorer and the player with the league\u2019s top contribution rate this season, Kabongo Tshimanga, suffered a fractured leg and dislocated ankle in a league game against Weymouth back in February.<\/p>\n That injury effectively ruled Tshimanga out for the rest of the season and Chesterfield\u2019s goal scoring form has taken a noticeable dip as a result.<\/p>\n However, there are rumors Chesterfield\u2019s star man could perhaps make a surprise appearance in this crucial playoff game on Tuesday as his recovery continues to improve and if that\u2019s the case, that would be a massive boost to the away side ahead of this one.<\/p>\n Halifax\u2019s Impressive Home Form<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s been a hugely impressive run for the Shaymen over 2022 so far with Halifax not losing a single game at home in the National League going all the way back to January 26th\u2019s close loss against Boreham Wood.<\/p>\n More importantly, that home form has seen Halifax give up by far the fewest goals in the league to opponents this season at just 0.50 goals per game (they also own the league\u2019s No. 1 overall opponent goals allowed rating as well).<\/p>\n That defensive presence could be key here on Tuesday against a Chesterfield offense which has averaged just 0.25 goals per game over it\u2019s last four starts.<\/p>\n FC Halifax Town vs Chesterfield\u00a0Prediction<\/h2>\nIt\u2019s difficult to look past a Halifax win here on Tuesday, especially considering with how solid they\u2019ve been at home this season.<\/p>\n Five of Halifax\u2019s last six wins at home have came accompanied by a clean sheet and without Tshimanga in attack, Chesterfield have looked a little toothless in attack over the back half of the season.<\/p>\n With Halifax going off on the pick \u2018em line (+0) at around -140 right now, that gives us protection against the draw and that\u2019s the way we\u2019ll look to play this one on Tuesday between Chesterfield and Halifax over in the English National League quarterfinal.<\/p>\n |
