Prediction
- The Eastleigh boss has a fluid team that can play a hybrid 4-3-3 system with a focus on the wings, but he will also shift the emphasis to the middle and play with a false nine in order to get his best players on the ball.
- He likes to push players forward and flood the box late in games, but this often leads to open games with goals at both ends.
- The Tamworth FC coach is more pragmatic in his approach and instils a mentality in his team to stay compact, defend solidly and hit teams on the break.
- He has settled on a 4-4-1/4-4-2 or 4-3-3 system this season and is unlikely to deviate from it even if his team goes behind.
- With an extra goal in them on their day, we feel that Tamworth can snatch all three points in a high-scoring encounter where both teams will likely score and concede.
