Following the conclusion of the National League playoff final on May 13 at Wembley Stadium, Halifax Town are still in the running to be reinstated as a member of the Football League despite a poor run of form.
Despite losing four of their previous five league matches, The Shaymen enter the midweek round of matches eight places behind the highly competitive playoff picture and only six points away from it.
In the current campaign, Millington’s team has won seven of their 13 games at The Shay Stadium, earning an impressive 23 points out of 39 available.
On January 31, Halifax defeated Harrow Borough in a penalty shootout to advance to the fifth round of the FA Trophy. The match ended 2-2 after 120 minutes of football.
Emmanuel Dieseruvwe’s goal in the 68th minute gave the hosts, who had won midweek, a 1-0 victory over 10-man Oldham Athletic on Saturday afternoon at Boundary Park.
Even though the Shaymen are in 15th place in the National League standings, you wouldn’t be able to predict which four teams will play in the quarterfinals of the playoffs at the end of the regular season because they are only six points apart from Southend, which is in seventh place.
Barnet is hoping to make it back to the Football League for the first time since 2018. Since Halloween of last year, they have been one of the best teams in the division.
Since losing in a remarkable 12-goal thriller against Wrexham on October 8, the Bees have never lost in their last 13 league games.
FC Halifax Town vs Barnet Team News :
Chris Millington, manager of Halifax Town, is unlikely to alter his starting lineup after seeing his team earn a much-needed three points on Saturday.
Emmanuel Dieseruvwe, who scored the game-winning goal against Oldham Athletic, will once more be used by Millington to play alongside Millenic Alli at The Shay Stadium.
Jamie Stott, Jordan Keane, Jesse Debrah, Jack Senior, and Tylor Golden will form The Shaymen’s familiar back four after keeping their first clean sheet in five games.
Barnet striker Nicke Kabamba, who has scored more goals than only Macaulay Langstaff and Paul Mullin in the 2022-23 National League season, will lead the visitors’ attack.
In the final third, the attack-minded trio of Idris Kanu, Harry Pritchard, and David Moyo will provide support for the aforementioned Kabamba.
