Moors to edge a tricky affair
Solihull Moors (22nd) face Boston United (19th) in the National League 2026-2027 on Saturday, with both sides looking to jumpstart their early-season momentum with a win at the ARMCO Arena.
The Moors will enter this as slight favorites at 2.36, but with Boston a close 2.62, it's the draw at 3.28 that looks worth the most interest.
Chris Millington has moulded Solihull into a possession-based side that control the pace by setting up in disciplined structures, sitting deep and pressing organisedly when without the ball.
Paul Hurst has led the Pilgrims since 14th January 2026, and his back three setup allows them to flood the wings and transition quickly in order to strike on the counter.
They beat Solihull 3-0 away in the final meeting between the sides in the National League 2025/26, and have a similar task here after losing their opener 1-0 at home to Aldershot Town in the National League 2026/27.
- Key player: Jacob Wakeling is the main spark for his side, and the Moors star is the leading scorer for Solihull in the National League 2026/27 with 1 goal in 1 match.
- Scoring run: He's netted 3 of Solihull's 6 goals across their last 5 games (all competitions), and they need him on form to try and snag 3 points against the Pilgrims.
- Opposition style: Boston will bring a very different style of football to this game, however.
A game of chess or a track meet?
Tactical battle
The over/under market points to goals being the most likely result, but we think that a combination of these two different styles will lead to an intriguing chess match.
Boston will undoubtedly make their move early and often, but Solihull will want to control the tempo and use their pressing and shape to force Boston into turning over possession.
Betting angles
Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.56 is our pick in the 3-way market, but the correct score prediction is perhaps closer to Solihull's favour.
The hosts have lost their last 2, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Birmingham City in a friendly and a 5-2 defeat away to Harrogate Town in the National League 2026/27 campaign, but Boston have won 1 and tied 1 of their last 2 on the road, which puts this on a knife edge.
