The Spitfires leapfrogged Hartlepool in midweek after their emphatic win over Ebbsfleet United with Askey’s side coming up short against Boreham Wood.
Pools continue to deal with a number of injury issues with the likes of Tom Crawford and Oliver Finney potentially adding to that list whilst Nicky Featherstone is in contention to make his home return.
And here we predict how Pools might line-up against Eastleigh:
