England National League Matchday 14 Predictions, October 23–24

Matchday 14 of the National League promises plenty of interesting encounters in which statistical trends could play a decisive role. Can Carlisle United take advantage of Solihull Moors' problems, will Worthing continue to trade goals with their opponents, and will trends pointing to high-scoring second halves hold up? We examine the key matches of the round and select bets worth watching.

Gateshead – Tamworth

Gateshead come into this match in poor form: they have lost their last seven National League games and conceded in each of their last 11 league fixtures. Tamworth, meanwhile, have scored in 13 consecutive league games. Notably, 71% of the team's goals this season have come in the second half. An additional argument for backing at least one away goal after the break is that Gateshead have conceded second-half goals in five consecutive head-to-head meetings.

Prediction for Gateshead – Tamworth on October 23, 2026: Tamworth second-half team total over 1 (odds 1.86)

Harrogate Town – Sutton United

Harrogate Town regularly improve after the break: they have scored in the second half in 11 of their last 12 National League matches, while their home run has reached eight consecutive games. Season statistics support the trend as well: according to SoccerSTATS, 64% of Harrogate's league goals have come in the second half. Sutton United, meanwhile, have conceded after the break in 10 of their last 11 matches. That combination makes a second-half goal for the hosts a reasonable selection.

Prediction for Harrogate Town – Sutton United on October 24, 2026: Harrogate Town to score in the second half (odds 1.53)

Eastleigh – Boston United

Boston United have grounds to expect a goal before the break: they have scored in the first half in five of their last six away National League matches. Eastleigh have regularly made defensive mistakes early on, conceding before halftime in five straight games. Season statistics also support the choice: Boston have scored nine first-half league goals, five of them away from home. Given the hosts' defensive problems during the opening 45 minutes, an away goal looks plausible.

Prediction for Eastleigh – Boston United on October 24, 2026: Boston United to score in the first half (odds 2.00)

Barrow – Forest Green

Barrow and Forest Green enter this meeting with statistical arguments for a relatively modest number of goals. Under 3.5 goals has landed in eight consecutive Barrow home matches and in eight of Forest Green's last nine away games. Meanwhile, Barrow have won four National League matches in a row, scoring nine goals in the process. Despite the hosts' good attacking form, the persistent trend towards moderate scoring at home makes under 3.5 goals worth considering.

Match link: Barrow – Forest Green

Prediction for Barrow – Forest Green on October 24, 2026: under 3.5 total goals (odds 1.44)

Solihull Moors – Carlisle United

Solihull Moors are struggling badly at home: they have lost seven of their last eight home National League matches and suffered six defeats in seven league games at their ground this season. Carlisle United arrive after a 3-1 victory over Aldershot Town, having previously beaten AFC Fylde 2-0 away. Against the backdrop of Solihull's poor home results, the visitors' more consistent performances make a Carlisle win a reasonable choice.

Prediction for Solihull Moors – Carlisle United on October 24, 2026: Carlisle United to win (odds 1.62)

Aldershot Town – Wealdstone

Wealdstone regularly find chances to score early in away games: they have scored in the first half in five consecutive National League away matches. Aldershot Town, in turn, have conceded before the break in five straight games. Current-season statistics also support the visitors' ability to score during the opening 45 minutes: Wealdstone have netted nine first-half goals.

Prediction for Aldershot Town – Wealdstone on October 24, 2026: Wealdstone to score in the first half (odds 1.94)

Southend United – Halifax Town

Southend United matches regularly feature goals at both ends: the team have both scored and conceded in 11 consecutive games, and their home streak has reached six fixtures. Halifax Town have also shown defensive inconsistency while scoring in most of their matches. Given the hosts' attacking activity and Halifax's regular goals, both teams to score appears a reasonable bet.

Prediction for Southend United – Halifax Town on October 24, 2026: both teams to score – yes (odds 1.53)

Yeovil Town – Altrincham

Altrincham regularly feature in high-scoring games: at least three goals have been scored in eight of their last nine National League matches. Season averages also support this selection: Yeovil Town have scored 2.46 goals per game and Altrincham 1.54. The hosts have conceded an average of 1.15 goals per match, while the visitors have allowed 1.46.

Match link: Yeovil Town – Altrincham

Prediction for Yeovil Town – Altrincham on October 24, 2026: over 2.5 total goals (odds 1.66)

Hartlepool United – Hornchurch

Hartlepool United and Hornchurch have shown a tendency towards low-scoring matches. No more than three goals have been scored in seven of Hartlepool's last eight home games and in eight consecutive Hornchurch matches in the National League.

Match link: Hartlepool United – Hornchurch

Prediction for Hartlepool United – Hornchurch on October 24, 2026: under 3 total goals (odds 1.52)

Boreham Wood – Fylde

Boreham Wood rarely score three or more goals in head-to-head meetings: their individual total has stayed under 2.5 in eight of their last nine National League matches against AFC Fylde. This trend supports a bet on the hosts not scoring too many goals.

Match link: Boreham Wood – Fylde

Prediction for Boreham Wood – Fylde on October 24, 2026: Boreham Wood team total under 2.5 (odds 1.76)

Scunthorpe United – Woking

Woking regularly reach halftime level in away fixtures: the first half ended in a draw in six of their last seven away games. Overall National League statistics support the same trend: Woking have gone into halftime level in five of their six away league matches this season. With Scunthorpe alternating wins and defeats in recent fixtures, a halftime draw looks a logical option.

Prediction for Scunthorpe United – Woking on October 24, 2026: first half: draw (odds 2.26)

Kidderminster Harriers – Worthing

Worthing regularly play entertaining football away from home: they have both scored and conceded in 10 of their last 11 away games, including six consecutive National League matches. The visitors' recent form also supports both teams to score: Worthing have netted 12 goals in their last five league games, including five against Solihull Moors.

Match link: Kidderminster Harriers – Worthing

Prediction for Kidderminster Harriers – Worthing on October 24, 2026: both teams to score – yes (odds 1.54)
