Shrimpers have that extra bit of quality
Match odds & standings
Southend United are the clear favorites with the bookmakers at 1.77, while Solihull are available at 3.91 and the draw is 3.6 for this National League 2026/2027 clash at ARMCO Arena. The Shrimpers have been the much better of the two so far this campaign, with Southend United sitting fourth with six points from two matches, while Solihull have yet to get off the mark in their two matches.
Solihull recent results
A 0-3 defeat at home to Birmingham City, a 5-2 loss away at Harrogate Town and a 0-2 defeat to Boston United FC last time out represent Solihull's three results to date, which hardly represents a great return.
Key points
The head-to-head certainly favours the visitors, who won three of the last five head-to-heads and have lost one.
- Southend are on a back-to-back win streak.
- Southend, who have won one from one away in the National League 2026/2027, have scored 3.00 goals per away game and with Harry Cardwell leading the line as their top scorer, The Shrimpers have a focal point to get the goals.
- Solihull have failed to beat the Shrimpers in their last three home games.
Solihull’s defence is being breached
Chris Millington's side are playing a possession-heavy, line-breaking game with aggressive pressing after turnovers. It certainly doesn't suit all opponents, but against a more compact Southend side with wing-backs and a structured transition attack, we think this will be a chess match.
A safer way in, however, could be 'Southend to win & both teams to score', as Solihull have been winless in 1 game and have conceded 2.00 goals per home match. Jacob Wakeling is their main danger man and has been the focal point of their attack so far, scoring three of Solihull's six goals in the National League 2026/2027 across their last five.
Kieron Dyer's side are the more likely to nick this one, but the recent head-to-head results and Solihull's tactical press make this feel a little one-sided.
