What we said beforehand

Eastleigh host Woking in a National League clash on 3 October 2026. Eastleigh sit 14th out of 24 with 15 points after 11 games and a goal difference of minus 2. Woking are four places below them in 18th, also on 12 points from 11 games but with a slightly better goal difference of minus 1. Both clubs are hovering near the relegation zone, so a point could be crucial. The table shows Forest Green Rovers just above Eastleigh and FC Halifax Town just below, while Wealdstone sit a spot above Woking and Boston United sit level with them, underscoring how tight the bottom half is.

Eastleigh’s recent form has been mixed. In their last eight matches they have won two, drawn three and lost three. The most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Southend at home, followed by a 4-1 defeat away at Harrogate. Before that they beat Carlisle 1-0 at home, then lost 2-1 away to Sutton. A 1-1 home draw with Boreham Wood came next and they were beaten 2-1 away by Altrincham. In those eight games Eastleigh have scored eight goals and let in eleven, keeping two clean sheets. At home they have been hard to beat, with one win and three draws in their last four fixtures and no defeats.

Woking have also produced a roller-coaster of results. Their last eight outings contain two wins, three draws and three losses. They fell 4-2 at home to Solihull, then bounced back with a 5-2 away win over Carlisle. A goalless home draw with Kidderminster was followed by a 1-1 draw away at Boston United. They then thrashed Altrincham 5-1 at home before a 1-0 away loss to Hartlepool. In these eight games Woking have found the net 14 times while conceding 11, with only one clean sheet and three games where they failed to score. On the road they have one win, one draw and two defeats in their last four trips.

The two sides have met five times before, producing four draws and a single Eastleigh win. Those games have been high-scoring, averaging 3.4 goals each. The most recent encounter on 3 April 2026 ended in a 3-3 thriller, showing that both teams are capable of finding the net against each other. Given the similar goal averages and the fact that both clubs have been involved in several games with three or more goals, we can expect another open contest with chances at both ends.

Our pick is both teams to score. The numbers suggest Eastleigh will score about 1.3 goals and Woking about 1.5, making a goal on either side likely. The chance of both sides scoring sits at 58 per cent, and the price of 1.55 is shorter than our reading, so it looks attractive. For the pick to fail, both teams would need to keep a clean sheet, which is unlikely given their recent records of scoring in most matches and conceding regularly. We feel a goal from each side is the most probable outcome.
