Eastleigh form and stats

A strong away win for Eastleigh against Barnet the last match, as B. House, A. Bell-Baggie, T. Barnett, C. Miley and A. Wynter were on target. Heartbreak before that as Eastleigh lost 0-4 at Notts County's place.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Eastleigh played a great game against Barnet and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Eastleigh have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Eastleigh as they have a new game in only four days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Altrincham are visiting.

Last season, Eastleigh's league statistics were 11 wins, 13 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 17th position in the National League. Over these 37 matches they scored 43 goals and conceded 55. Playing at home last season Eastleigh managed 6-8-3 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 18 conceded.

Torquay United form and stats

The supporters enjoyed Torquay United's previous game versus Stockport County (placed 21st), a National League 1-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Torquay manager G. Johnson faced defeat when travelling to Sutton United and losing 0-2.

Late drama in the previous game, when C. Lemonheigh-Evans scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Stockport County.

We have checked recent matches where Torquay United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were one victory, zero draws and five defeats.

Torquay has another fixture away, a National League game, against Bromley in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Let's have a look at how Torquay United performed last season in the National League: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 6 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 56 and conceded 61 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 29/35 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Eastleigh won seven games, one match ended with a draw and Torquay United has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
