Eastleigh:
The Spitfires come into the game off the back of a dramatic late win against Woking last week.
Danny Whitehall opened the scoring with his 10th goal of the season, before Dan Smith was on hand to score a 97th minute winner after Lyle Simpson unselfishly passed a rebounded shot.
The win was Lee Bradbury’s third since taking over in the Eastleigh dugout.
Eastleigh are in intermittent form as the campaign draws to a close, with one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five games.
Grimsby Town:
The Mariners are looking for an instant return to SkyBet League Two, and will be hoping to do so via the playoffs.
They secured their playoff place on Tuesday night with a narrow 1-0 win over Boreham Wood at Blundell Park. John McAtee scored the only goal of the game – his 14th of the season – in the 19th minute as Grimsby held on to secure a top seven finish.
Paul Hurst’s side have stuttered slightly in their pursuit of the post-season games with just one win in their last three outings.
Prior to beating Boreham Wood, they lost to Maidenhead United and drew with Barnet.
Previous Meetings:
There have been seven meeting between the two sides in just two years of being in the same division, as both clubs also met in the 2014/15 playoffs.
Eastleigh are yet to beat Grimsby Town after falling to a 2-0 defeat earlier this season at Blundell Park with Michee Efete and Benjamin Fox on scoresheet.
