Our pre-match preview
Expect a physical, direct contest at Whaddon Road where both sides will look to win the ball early and play through the middle rather than try to build patiently. The tie is likely to be decided by which team copes better with the tempo and the set-piece moments that tend to define cup football.
The key battle is between Cheltenham's midfield and Halifax's attempts to break forward quickly into the spaces left behind. Whoever controls the central zones and restricts the other side's transitions will likely dictate the flow of the match.
