Eastleigh form and stats

Eastleigh have only collected 7 points from their away games in the National League, after 2-1-7 (10 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Eastleigh are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Two trips in a row for Eastleigh, whose coach Strevens could celebrate last time after the win against Stockport County. Eastleigh has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Stockport County for a 0-3 draw. Two away games in a row for Eastleigh, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Stockport County.

A quick return to home after this game, as Eastleigh are hosting Chesterfield in the National League only four days away.
