"However, last season putting in what was a woeful Boxing Day display as they slumped to an infamous 7-1 drumming away at Solihull Moors, Andy Peaks' men will know the importance of claiming an immediate response here. Excited to make a return to the Midlands on Tuesday night, they have won each of their other three appearances across all competitions and will be excited by their extended success in front of their own supporters."
"As for the visitors, although Halifax might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, the Shaymen haven't shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Last seen securing a 2-1 victory at home against Altrincham, Adam Lakeland's side open Tuesday's fixtures sat within touching distance of finding a route back into the top-six. Roaring back since their downbeat start to November, the Yorkshire-based outfit are unbeaten in all of their previous five appearances across all competitions (four wins, one draw)."
Tamworth narrowly missed a play-off spot last season but received plaudits for their fifth-tier performances. The Lambs suffered a 7-1 Boxing Day defeat at Solihull Moors last season yet have won three other recent appearances and four consecutive home matches, including a 2-1 victory against Southend. Tamworth have not kept a National League clean sheet at the Lamb Ground since September 20. Halifax responded well to last season's play-off disappointment, remain unbeaten in five matches (four wins, one draw), beat Braintree 4-0 in December and won 2-1 at Tamworth in their previous Midlands trip.
