Bitesize Prediction: Eastleigh vs York City – 05/05/25

Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 1xBet

Already wrapping up a silver medal finish, York City will sign off their regular-season run when they travel to Eastleigh on Monday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Eastleigh might have opened up 2025 with their sights set on mounting a genuine play-off charge, the Spitfires have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Suffering late frustration away at Woking last week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate, Kelvin Davis’ side have mustered just a sole victory from any of their previous 10 consecutive National League appearances – a rut that stems all the way back to March 4th. Falling to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Rochdale last month, the Hampshire-based outfit should be excited to make a return to home soil here. Despite suffering a 2-1 loss against Southend on March 22nd, that is the only loss that Eastleigh have suffered from any of their last eight straight showdowns at the Silverlake Stadium. Simply looking to sign off the 2024/25 campaign with a much-welcomed boost on Monday afternoon, it should be noted that three of Eastleigh’s last four matchups in Hampshire have finished with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while York City might have only just clung to their fifth-tier status last season, Adam Hinshelwood’s men have cemented their spot as the National League’s ultimate surprise package this season. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits and breaking plenty of records this year, the Minstermen have cruised their way to a silver medal finish. Last seen clinching a 2-0 win against Solihull Moors, Monday’s guests have remarkably registered 19 points from just their last seven appearances. Likewise, last seen on their travels claiming a stellar 3-1 victory against Gateshead, the former Worthing boss will be excited by his side’s free-scoring performances in the final third. Including a sensational 7-2 romp against Aldershot on April 12th, York City have notched 23 goals on their seven-match unbeaten run. Entering their play-off adventure riding a major wave of momentum, Hinshelwood’s camp have also continued to shine with their dominance on the road. In fact, the Yorkshire-based outfit have won six of their last seven away fixtures – a run that stems back to a 3-1 loss against Barnet on February 18th.
