Eastleigh form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their National League travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. With three draws in a row for Eastleigh the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. Eastleigh has drawn their two previous away games.

Before that, Eastleigh travelled to Woking and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
