💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that York City are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Halifax could well find it tough to score themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up hitting back at some stage here, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a decent 3-1 win for York City when all’s said and done.
