Eastleigh have played 5 National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The spoils were shared in Eastleigh's previous game, also at home. Visiting Oxford City (placed 14th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. A disappointing finish for Eastleigh in their match versus Oxford City as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Fylde with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Eastleigh perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Eastleigh as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Eastleigh has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The manager Hill will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bromley in only three days.

A decent goal production from Eastleigh in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. Eastleigh have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number.
