Yeovil Town
- Yeovil Town have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five National League matches.
- With 27 points each after 24 and 23 games, Yeovil Town and Eastleigh are tied up in 15th and 14th place, respectively, in the National League 2025-2026 standings.
- Both sides have recently changed managers and will be looking for stability and momentum to climb the table, with Yeovil’s new boss Billy Rowley.
- Rowley has immediately brought pragmatism to The Glovers, who will set up in a 3-4-1-2 formation and focus on staying compact, being disciplined and countering quickly rather than trying to hold possession.
- Yeovil Town have won two and lost one of their last three home games in the National League.
Eastleigh
- Eastleigh have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five National League games.
- Scott Bartlett has implemented a more progressive style since taking over.
- The visitors line up with a back four and are more patient in build-up, they overload wide areas and press higher up the field with the aim of controlling the pace of the game and stretching opponents.
- Eastleigh’s last two games were a 3-1 away win at Gateshead and a 1-1 home draw with Woking FC.
Head-to-Head
- Bartlett’s men edged past Yeovil Town 1-0 at home in their most recent head-to-head National League clash in 2024/2025, but have failed to win on their previous two trips to the Huish Park (D1, L1).
- With odds of 2.44 on Yeovil to win and 2.73 on Eastleigh, it looks more likely we’re in for a draw.
- The Glovers have won four, drawn two and lost six of their 12 home games in the National League 2025/2026, scoring an average of 0.92 goals and conceding 1.50.
- Eastleigh have won three, drawn three and lost six of their 12 away league games this term, scoring an average of 1.00 goal per game.
- A clash between the compact, counter-attacking block of Rowley’s men and the more progressive possession-based, wide overload approach of Bartlett’s side promises to be a tactical chess match and the midfield and wing battles should decide it.
