Eastleigh vs Torquay Predictions

• Torquay’s league games averaged 3.2 total goals per-match this season.
• Eastleigh’s home league games average 2.9 total goals per-match this term.
• Five of the last six H2Hs at this venue produced at least three goals in total.

Exciting clash in prospect

Two sides looking for some consistency come head-to-head in the National League here, Eastleigh and Torquay will both end 2021 in mid-table and need a big run of results if either are to push for promotion. As such, this looks like it could be an end-to-end affair with plenty of goals.

Eastleigh have scored ten goals across their last six home games, which leaves little doubt as to their goalscoring threat. Moreover, they have not been kept from scoring in any of Torquay’s last six visits to the Silverlake Stadium (W4, D1, L1), so a strong showing from the home side looks on the cards.

Torquay’s away woes could continue

While Torquay head into this clash on the back of three consecutive league wins, they won just one of their last five away league games (D1, L3) and could yet struggle again at a ground in which they rarely perform well at.

They may not end up winning many away games, but just one of the last six host sides kept Torquay off the scoresheet, hinting that they may well grab a consolation even if they do fall again.

All in all, I predict an entertaining 2-1 home win with the main prediction being over 2.5 total goals. The visitors come into this with confidence following their winning run in the league, which is why I am simply backing goals rather than a straight home win.
