Preview: Yeovil Town Hosts Halifax Town in National League Clash

YEOVIL, England (Interstat) — Yeovil Town looks to reverse a recent slide and avenge a prior defeat when it hosts Halifax Town in a National League match on Saturday.

The game at Huish Park is a pivotal late-season fixture for both clubs in England’s fifth tier. The visiting Shaymen won a five-goal thriller when the sides last met, a 3-2 Halifax victory at The Shay on Aug. 30, 2025.

Halifax (10-12-15) arrives with mixed form, coming off a 2-2 home draw with Tamworth on Monday. Its recent results show a pattern of volatility, with a 1-0 win at Altrincham on April 3 preceded by consecutive losses to Scunthorpe United and Carlisle United. Its attack has shown potency in wins over Solihull Moors and Boreham Wood, but consistency has been elusive.

Yeovil (13-8-16) seeks to rebound from a 2-1 road loss at Eastleigh on Monday. That defeat snapped a brief positive run that included a 1-0 victory over Truro City on April 3. Prior to that, the Glovers struggled through a difficult March, recording just two wins in seven league matches. Defensive solidity has been a concern, with the club conceding two or more goals in six of its last ten outings.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw.

For Halifax, a point on the road would build momentum ahead of its next fixture against Southend United on April 18. Yeovil, aiming to climb the table, faces a tough trip to York City on the same date.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
