Halifax to get on the front foot in Solihull
Match context
Solihull Moors may be slight favorites for the victory here at 2.14, but the home side haven't been in the best of nick lately and look to be just as likely to lose as win when they come up against a solid Halifax Town on Saturday afternoon.
Tactics and managers
Chris Millington took charge of Solihull on 1 October 2025 and has played a flexible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system, where his side will press high and look to hurt teams quickly in the wide areas with pacey players.
Halifax Town are less of a free-flowing side, more of a controlled possession team, while John McGrath has been in charge since 1 July 2026.
His side set up in a 4-2-3-1 and are compact, while they like to build up play patiently.
Solid visitors can get the job done
This clash of styles looks like a chess match and one that Halifax Town are most likely to come out on top in.
The Shaymen have won the last 3 meetings between the sides and beat Solihull 3-0 away in the National League 2025/2026 just six months ago, but they are coming into this one off a 1-1 home draw with Sutton United and a 2-1 away defeat to Worthing, so they are not flying.
The Moors have had a poor run of results lately, too, as they have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 5 and sit 23rd in the National League 2026/2027 with just 4 points from their 10 games.
The Shaymen are 14th with 13 points from 10 games, so the difference isn't much.
Both teams to score and 3+ goals likely
Key players
- Jacob Wakeling has bagged 4 goals in 9 National League 2026/2027 matches for the Moors.
- Zak Gilsenan has been Halifax's sharpest weapon with 4 in the same number of games.
Betting angle
As much as the bookies like Solihull in this one, Halifax have been the more consistent and solid team this season and will be tough to break down.
Both teams to hit the net and over 2.5 goals looks the best bet at the current prices, although we're going with the visitors to get the win in what should be a tight tactical encounter.
