The Minstermen will look to extend their recent unbeaten run in the league this coming weekend when we take on Eastleigh at the Silverlake Stadium. 

Neal Ardley’s side head down to the South Coast on a current five-match unbeaten run, which was extended following Tuesday night’s 1-0 win at Needham Market in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round replay.

This weekend’s hosts head into the game currently sat 11th in the Vanarama National League, but with them only sitting two points outside of the playoffs, they know that three points on Saturday could see them enter the top seven.

They’ve won three out of their last four games in all competitions, with their last game in the National League ending in a 3-1 defeat at Hartlepool United.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Eastleigh are unbeaten in their last two games against the Minstermen, having achieved a league double over us last season. Our most recent meeting was at the Silverlake Stadium on the 28th February where the hosts ran out 1-0 winners at the Silverlake Stadium.

The other meeting between the two sides last season came four games into the new season, where a John McKiernan header was the difference between the two sides at the LNER Community Stadium.

In the four meetings that have been played between the two club’s since we first went head-to-head in 2016, The Minstermen have only won once which came in a 3-1 win at Bootham Crescent on the 4th March 2017. A Jon Parkin brace and a late goal from Vadaine Oliver secured a crucial win for City that day.
