The 2025/26 Enterprise National League season continues on Saturday 20th September. The Spitfires return home to the Silverlake as they take on strugglers Braintree Town, with kick-off at 3pm.
Eastleigh:
After a frustrating result at FC Halifax Town last weekend, the Spitfires currently find themselves in 14th position having picked up three wins, one draw and four defeats from their opening eight games.
The Spitfires last tasted victory against Altrincham and Kelvin Davis’ side will be looking to get back to winning ways against the Essex side this weekend.
Kelvin Davis’ side have taken six points from a possible nine at home this season and will be hoping to continue this form against Braintree Town on Saturday afternoon.
Braintree Town:
Braintree Town have struggled to find any form this season having recorded just two wins, a draw and six defeats from nine games and as a result they sit 21st in the league standings.
The Iron’s seven points have all come at home so far this season with the Essex side conceding 11 goals and only scoring one on their travels.
The Essex side finished last season in 17th position in the league standings, having registered 56 points and so will be hoping to improve on this come the end of this campaign.
