Eastleigh

DWLWWW 📈

Eastleigh will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-1 National League triumph against Wealdstone.

The only scorer from Eastleigh was Chris Maguire (88').

Their latest results highlight the fact that there has been much resilience in the Eastleigh backline. Eastleigh have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their last six outings standing at 4. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, though.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Eastleigh:

• haven't lost in the league to Halifax in their last 3 matches.
• are without a home win in the past 5 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.
