Eastleigh vs Halifax Predictions

• Eastleigh have nothing to play for for the rest of the league season.
• Halifax could lose their top-three place unless they win this game.
• Halifax are unbeaten in four of the last five H2H meetings.

Eastleigh’s safety is assured

Eastleigh played out a classic end of season thriller last time out as they featured in an exciting 3-3 draw with the already-relegated Kings Lynn.

However, conceding three goals against relegated opposition and extending their winless run to five league games (D2, L3) is not ideal preparation ahead of the visit of promotion-chasing Halifax Town.

Home comforts have been non existent for Eastleigh of late, as they are currently enduring a four-game losing run here at the Silverlake Stadium, three of which came without reply.

Halifax still have work to do

While Halifax have already secured a play-off place, a top-three finish will ensure that they begin their challenge at the semi-final stage and avoid an unnecessary extra round of games.

Victory last time out ensured that their fate remains in their own hands with just a few games to go, but they will need to do their bit if they want to maintain their current spot in third place.

We predict that Halifax will justify their favourites status in this clash and get the job done ahead of their play-off schedule. As for the correct score, we are going for Halifax by a 2-0 margin against an Eastleigh side with their proverbial sandals on.
