Eastleigh
- Aaron Blair, who has bagged 12 goals in 25 National League appearances, is a consistent threat to the opposition defence and Eastleigh can do enough damage to win this one with a pragmatic and direct game plan.
- Their defence is usually in a four-man line with a compact midfield that allows their wide players to push forward when in possession.
- The ball into the box and a dominant target man have been their main source of goals and they will be looking to exploit the second ball and set piece opportunities against this Truro side on Wednesday.
Truro City FC
- John Askey has built a team at Truro City FC that presses high and plays a 4-3-3 formation with a good tempo and vertical passing game.
- His wide forwards are energetic, pressing hard to try and create turnovers and quick transition play to catch defences out.
- But execution has been lacking and Truro are on a three-game losing streak after four defeats in their last five.
- Dominic Johnson-Fisher is their top scorer with only four goals in 29 National League games, but Tyler Harvey’s two of Truro’s last three goals should give them some hope up front.
Head-to-Head
- Eastleigh were 2-0 winners away at Truro City FC in the last National League meeting four months ago.
- Truro have won only one of their last three away games, losing the other two.
Key Players
- Aaron Blair - 12 goals in 25 National League appearances.
- Dominic Johnson-Fisher - four goals in 29 National League games.
- Tyler Harvey - scored two of Truro’s last three goals.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are slightly favored at 2.09, but Truro City FC and the draw are available at 3.22 - a pretty good price for the visitors.
- Truro have won only once, drawn three and lost 12 of their 16 away games in the National League.
- They have scored only nine goals in 16 away matches, so they should be limited to a few opportunities against a team that will look to stifle their play.
- As both teams haven’t scored at an acceptable rate this season, the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.81 is a decent play instead of a straight Eastleigh win.
Prediction
As both teams haven’t scored at an acceptable rate this season, the Under 2.5 goals market at 1.81 is a decent play instead of a straight Eastleigh win.
