Woking come into this with a mixed but still lively scoring pattern: four of their last six league games have gone over 2.5 goals, and they have found the net in five straight matches. Their most recent home draw with Altrincham ended 1-1, but it came after 27 shots and 2.06 expected goals, so there was enough attacking volume to point toward another open game.
Eastleigh have been even more direct for this market, because five of their last six league fixtures have featured at least three goals. Their recent sequence has also been messy at the back, with 74 goals conceded across the season and four defeats in their last four league matches before the weekend. The 2-4 loss to Forest Green Rovers and the 0-2 home defeat to Sutton both underline how quickly their games can stretch.
The home and away splits lean the same way. Woking’s home matches have produced 50 goals in 19 league games, while Eastleigh’s away record has yielded 54 goals in 16 trips. That combined profile sits above the league’s modest scoring benchmarks, and it fits a contest where both sides have enough attacking threat to contribute, even if Woking’s recent 1-0 win at York is a reminder that not every outing turns into a shootout.
Head to head, this fixture has not been shy of goals either, with two of the last three meetings finishing level at 1-1 or 2-2. Woking have also gone four league games without a clean sheet, while Eastleigh have gone seven away league matches without one, so there is enough defensive fragility on both sides to keep the total moving.
My prediction is Over 2.5 Goals at 73/100. Woking have seen four of their last six league matches clear this line, Eastleigh have done so in five of their last six, and both teams are carrying shaky clean-sheet records into the game. The recent head-to-heads have also produced a couple of high-scoring draws, which supports another open evening at the Laithwaite Community Stadium.
