This Saturday see’s two teams at differing ends of The National League table square off as Halifax who are second in the table host Eastleigh who currently find themselves in 12th place. With leaders Chesterfield not in action due to FA Cup commitments this is an opportunity for Halifax to reclaim top spot with a victory.

Match Result

Both teams head into this encounter with some good form behind them. Halifax find themselves 4th in the current form table having taken ten points from the last fifteen available to them, Eastleigh are 9th in the form table but have taken 10 points in the same period. At home Halifax have been pretty formidable having only dropped six points at home all season. Eastleigh have had their troubles on the road, only picking up seven points from a possible 24. With odds of 21/20 for Halifax to win they have to be the choice here.

Over 2.5 goals

When it comes to betting the over or under 2.5 goal market, it’s a difficult market to call but we will side with the under here. Halifax have only seen the over 2.5 goal mark exceeded in one of their last five matches, whilst Eastleigh have seen it exceeded in four of their last five when these sides do lock horns 2.5 goals has only been exceeded in only two of the last five head to head contests. We feel this trend is going to continue and we are going to back the under 2.5 market on this occasion.

Both teams to score

It’s another tough market to call as to whether both teams will find the back of the net as both teams have a bit of a mixed record when being involved in games where both teams have found the back of the net or not. Halifax have seen both teams score in their last three games and two of their last three at home, whereas Eastleigh have only seen both teams score in two of their last five but have scored in three of their last five away games. In what could be a low scoring game we will back both teams to find a way of shutting up shop and will side with both teams not to score here.
