York City return home to the LNER Community Stadium this Saturday to host Eastleigh (3pm kick off) following back-to-back away games.
Adam Hinshelwood’s side returned to winning ways on Tuesday night with a 3-0 win away at Solihull Moors, backing up a hard fought point at Aldershot four days before hand.
Visitors Eastleigh have put up a strong start in their 2024/25 Vanarama National League campaign, sitting 7th after 11 matchdays.
Kelvin Davis’ side have won six so far, drawing two and losing three along the way.
The Spitfires picked up the same points tally as The Minstermen in the past two games, winning against Rochdale last Saturday before drawing to Woking on Tuesday night.
