The 2025/26 Enterprise National League season continues on Saturday 22nd November. Following last weekend’s well earned point at Carlisle, the Spitfires return to the Silverlake to take on Hartlepool United. Kick-off is at 3pm.
Eastleigh:
After an impressive performance last weekend at Brunton Park against Carlisle, the Spitfires will be looking to build on this against Hartlepool United this weekend and hopefully secure all three points to boost their play-off hopes come the end of the season.
Since Scott Bartlett’s tenure started, the Spitfires have performed strongly at the Silverlake, securing two wins, two draws and just one defeat in the league and will be looking to keep this form going against the Pools on Saturday afternoon.
Scott Bartlett’s side currently sit in 14th position in the league standings, just four points behind Saturday afternoon’s visitors having picked up six wins and five draws from their 19 league games this campaign.
Hartlepool United:
The Pools head into this weekend’s game with the Spitfires on a five game unbeaten run which stretches back to the middle of October and Nicky Featherstone’s side will be looking to extend this run come full-time at the Silverlake on Saturday.
The County Durham side currently sit 10th in the National League standings, just five points from the play-off positions having secured six wins and nine draws from their opening 19 games.
Hartlepool United have been strong on the road this season, losing just three times with those defeats coming against Forest Green Rovers, Aldershot Town and Carlisle respectively.
Bartlett’s Pre-Match Thoughts:
Bartlett: “We’ve got to work hard. We’ve got to have a really good structure when we haven’t got the ball. We’ve got to be a bit brighter and play a bit freer when we’ve got it.
“We know tomorrow is going to be another tough test but the lads are in a good place and we’ve trained really well this week.”
