A goal frenzy last time out for Halifax, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Hartlepool United (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties). Fun stuff to watch!

Eastleigh form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their National League travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Eastleigh, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Maidenhead United.
A huge disappointment for Eastleigh in their last match (vs Wealdstone). Leading 3-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Eastleigh, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Late heartbreak for Eastleigh in the Wealdstone match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.
