Competition: National League

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 3/10 @ 888sport

Two National League sides who have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes, Eastleigh will host Halifax on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another worrying display, Eastleigh find themselves in the midst of what has been an extended rut. In their opening nine National League matchups so far this season, they have recorded three victories, two draws and four defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 13 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 11 from a possible 27, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 12th in the standings and with just their goal difference keeping them in the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-2 loss away at Oldham, Eastleigh have picked up just a single point from their previous four National League matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen their previous five fifth-tier contests finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, slumping back to losing ways last weekend, Halifax find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their opening nine National League matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, two draws and five defeats, scoring seven and conceding 14 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of eight from a possible 27, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 21st and in the drop zone thanks to their goal difference. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a thumping 5-1 loss away at Aldershot, that was the first defeat that Halifax have suffered from their previous four National League outings. However, it should be noted, with Saturday’s guests seeing each of their last five contests finish with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
