Match Facts
This is the first ever competitive meeting between Eastleigh and Reading in any competition.
Eastleigh have been eliminated in their last three FA Cup ties against Football League opponents, last knocking one out of the competition in the first round in 2016-17 against Swindon Town.
This is only the second time in Reading’s last 47 FA Cup ties they are facing a non-league side – they lost the other tie 2-1 away at Kidderminster Harriers in the third round in 2021-22.
Eastleigh are looking to reach the FA Cup third round for only the third time in their history, also doing so in 2015-16 and 2016-17, although they beat fellow non-league opponents in the second round in both of those seasons.
