The Blues will have a go
Brentwood Town FC will fancy their chances of securing a result against Eastleigh in this FA Cup Qualification 2026 tie on Saturday, especially as they arrive in better condition than the home team. The visitors have posted a mixed bag of results in their last five with 3 wins and 2 defeats, but that's still better than Eastleigh's record of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats across their previous 5 outings.
Brentwood Town are a long ball, fast wide play and set-piece side with plenty of energy and physicality in their game, so this could be a real test of the more structured and organised 4-4-2 shape of Matt Gray's Eastleigh.
Home team have struggled for form
Recent results
The Spitfires have hit a rough patch since Gray took charge on 1 July 2026, although a 1-1 draw with Southend United can be seen as a decent result against a side that had been in good form. They have lost their next two games though, 1-3 at home to Woking and 2-0 away to AFC Hornchurch, and those results point to a need for improvement ahead of the arrival of the physical and quick Blues.
Key player
Aaron Blair has been their main goal threat of late, as he has scored two of their four goals across their past five games, while Brentwood will look to cause problems with their directness and energy on Saturday.
Back the visitors to nick it
The away win looks very live at 8.0 and we are tipping Brentwood Town FC to snatch the victory in this fixture.
- They won 3-1 at home to Dagenham & Redbridge in their opening FA Cup Qualification 2026 game, but their 3-0 defeat at Chatham Town FC was a reality check.
- Both Teams to Score – Yes is our second choice in this market at 1.95 as there is an attacking edge to both teams and this has the feel of an end-to-end match that should produce plenty of goal chances.
