Boston United travel to FC Halifax Town on Tuesday night aiming to arrest a slide in form that has left them 18th in the National League. The Pilgrims have taken just one win from their last five league outings, a 3-1 victory at Forest Green, and are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to AFC Fylde last Saturday.
That result leaves them on 11 points from 10 games, three points and four places behind their upcoming opponents. Halifax, who sit 14th, have also been inconsistent but have won three of their last five matches across all competitions. Their last league outing was a 2-1 loss at Worthing.
Key men for the clash
Lenell Nicholas John-Lewis leads the Boston scoring charts this season with 11 goals in all competitions, while Frankie Maguire has provided 10 assists. For the hosts, William Harris is the main threat with 22 goals to his name. Both defences have been leaky, with Boston conceding 14 goals in the league and Halifax letting in 11.
The full fixtures list shows a busy period ahead, and the squad will need to find consistency quickly. Tuesday's match at The Shay kicks off at 19:45 UK time.
