Eastleigh - AFC Fylde

Eastleigh forward Paul McCallum remains the focal point for the hosts as they look to recover from a recent wobble in form. Following a narrow FA Cup exit against Shrewsbury Town, the side is eager to rediscover the attacking rhythm that saw them net four goals against Boston United in late October. With their recent league results proving inconsistent, the pressure is on the home side to re-establish their defensive stability at Silverlake Stadium this 14 November 2026. The side will need to tighten up significantly to avoid a repeat of their recent league struggles.

AFC Fylde arrive in high spirits after a dominant FA Cup victory over Harrogate Town, signalling a return to the clinical form that saw them secure back-to-back league wins against Hornchurch and Hartlepool United. While their away record has been mixed, the visitors have demonstrated a potent threat in the final third throughout their recent National League campaign. This matchday 17 clash promises to be a test of resilience for both sides as they navigate the middle stages of the season. Given the high-scoring nature of their previous meetings, including a 4-2 victory for Eastleigh in August 2024, an open and competitive encounter is expected.
