A 1-1 draw away before that, with Chesterfield the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Eastleigh form and stats

Eastleigh have only collected 7 points from their away games in the National League, after 2-1-5 (8 played).

Impressive finishing from Maghoma, Barnett and Whitehall secured the home win 3-2 against Weymouth in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Strevens when Whitehall scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. The end of the last match, against Weymouth, was very satisfying as Whitehall scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Torquay United.

Eastleigh are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and eight defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

The attacking power of Eastleigh when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Eastleigh have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Halifax won two games, five matches ended in a draw and Eastleigh have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
