Nigel Atangana is questionable for this game after being ejected from Eastleigh’s win against Boreham Wood in the first half. Tristan Abrahams, who has scored twice in his past three home games for the hosts, will aim to deliver for his team once again.
Last time, Thomas O’Connor played well off the bench for Wrexham, and the Ireland international could get a chance to start this time. The 27-year-old Elliott Lee is a player to watch after scoring twice against Saturday’s opponents in their previous meeting back in August.
Prediction
Our opinion is that Eastleigh must be favoured to defeat this Wrexham squad, yet one goal might not be sufficient.
Therefore, we anticipate a competitive match in which Wrexham ultimately prevails 1-2. This has the potential to go either way.
We state: Wrexham 0–2 Eastleigh
Despite a little setback their last time out, Wrexham is still the overwhelming favourite to win this match. At the end of regulation, we anticipate the away team to win with a fair amount of ease.
