- Home form: Eastleigh are unbeaten at home in the National League 2026/2027 (W2) with five goals scored at 2.50 per game.
- Away form: Aldershot Town are also unbeaten away in the National League 2026/2027 (W1, D1) with one goal conceded at 0.50 per game.
Eastleigh can edge out a tough Aldershot Town side
Eastleigh and Aldershot Town have both made positive starts to the National League 2026/2027 campaign, and both arrive at the Silverlake Stadium for Monday's top-half contest. The home side are unbeaten at home in the National League 2026/2027 with nine points from a possible 12 and 5th position, while the visiting team are also on seven points from four games, and are 9th in the table.
Matt Gray has installed a flexible, high-tempo style of play at Eastleigh that is predicated on pressing, fast transitions and late runners from midfield. Aldershot Town's Scott Davies has developed a power-and-pace team that press hard, stays compact and are dangerous from direct play and set pieces, so this could be a clash of styles.
Back Eastleigh for the double chance at 2.35
The odds of 2.35 around the favourites to win in this game seems a little bit too short given that Eastleigh are on a two-game winning streak and the Shots have made a pretty good start to the season, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last five games in all competitions. The draw is a runner at 3.4, but that's also a little shorter than we'd like for this game, although it probably has some merit given that Eastleigh and The Shots met 7 months ago.
We'll go with the slight favourites because they are at home, have won two of their last three head-to-heads at this venue and arrive with the momentum of two wins from their opening two NL26/27 fixtures.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals are the supporting selections
Key markets:
- The 3-2 and 1-0 scorelines in Eastleigh's two National League 2026/2027 games to date, against Scunthorpe United at home and Hartlepool United away, both landed.
- But we think Both Teams to Score at 1.54 is the stronger supporting play because these two sides are so different in terms of their style of play and that can make for a lively contest.
- The over 2.5 goals line is also worthy of support at 1.67, and that looks more likely than the under, although we'd be inclined to back the unders if either team were to strike first or get a couple of goals.
Form and prediction:
Aldershot Town beat Harrogate Town 3-1 at home after a 0-1 away draw to Kidderminster Harriers in National League 2026/2027 and are undefeated in their last two away games. So we believe this will be close with the possibility of a home win by a one-goal margin if Eastleigh can nick it.
Scoop the goal scorers with Sidwell and Abrahams
Harry Sidwell is the spark that gets Eastleigh going in the middle of the park with two goals from four appearances, while Tristan Abrahams is the danger man for The Shots with four goals in three NL26/27 outings. Sidwell is also the pick of Eastleigh's recent scoring record with two of the Spitfires' last six goals coming in their last five-game sequence, while Abrahams has four of the Shots' last five goals in the same time period.
