Eastleigh:
The Spitfires will be looking to turn draws into wins after collecting two points from two games on the road to Gateshead and Aldershot Town.

At home however, Eastleigh have enjoyed a positive start to the season as they remain unbeaten with three wins and two draws at the Silverlake Stadium. They sit in 13th place ahead of their latest test against The Spireites.
