Shaymen misery set to continue

Home 5/4 Draw 9/4 Away 7/4

It seems Halifax are heading only in one direction at the moment and that's down. Kidderminster are in great form but to put six past Halifax at the Shay in midweek really shows that Town are in trouble and they could be definite odds-on favourites for relegation in the next few weeks.

I can't see Halifax getting out of trouble, the momentum doesn't seem to be with them. The Shaymen take on an Ebbsfleet team who may have one eye on their forthcoming FA Trophy final, but boss Liam Daish will not let his players drop for one second. Ebbsfleet will be a very difficult game for Halifax and that's the last thing they need at this stage of the season.

Verdict: Away win
