FC Halifax Town will travel down to Eastleigh off the back of their first league win since the 23rd of December. Today we look at both sides form going into this tight match from the Vanarama National League.
The hosts, Eastleigh have struggled in their last three games. Losing by a two-goal margin against Boreham Wood, Chester and Maidenhead. Whereas the Shaymen have been playing some of their better football this year with a draw against Wrexham, an unfortunate loss versus Ebbsfleet and the brilliant win against Hartlepool on Tuesday.
Eastleigh, under the management of Andy Hessenthaler have been hard to beat when sides have travelled to Ten Acres. They have only lost three of their last ten games at home this season. However, they also find it difficult to finish games off, winning only two of them.
Where Eastleigh may have struggled to pick up wins at home, Halifax have struggled to win away recently. Only one win away in the last ten games has hampered the Yorkshire side. However, a few good draws in them ten games to the likes of Wrexham, Dover, Bromley and Boreham wood, all sides in the top eight. Jamie Fullarton will be looking to take points away from the side sitting in 14th in his first game in charge.
