- Team scoring: Solihull have scored 12 goals in seven away games in National League 2026-2027, so they can get the ball in the net on the road.
- Relegation pressure: Solihull Moors are 22nd with 13 points from 16 games in National League 2026-2027, so they travel to VBS Community Stadium under real relegation pressure.
- Mid-table security: Sutton United are 11th with 24 points from 16 matches, so have some security in the mid-table positions.
Solid Sutton have enough to see off Solihull
Sutton United, who are 1.87 odds-on favorites, are our pick to beat Solihull Moors, who are 3.53 to take all three points at the VBS Community Stadium in England on Saturday.
The U's come into this fixture off the back of a 3-0 away win over Worthing in the National League but also a 1-0 defeat at Guiseley in the FA Cup, so their momentum is not flawless.
Sutton's setup and form
Chris Agutter has done a good job since taking charge of Sutton on 3 October 2025 and his side have enough freshness and tempo to make it difficult for any opposition. His preferred 4-2-3-1 system can turn into a 4-2-4 with a high-energy press that opens up gaps on the transition, but the U's have been sharing the goals around recently – rather than relying on one man.
Key players and opposing manager
Temi Babalola has hit three goals in 11 matches in National League 2026-2027 to remain top of the charts for Sutton, but Charlie Carter has chipped in two of the six they have scored in the last five matches – so there's enough bite at both ends of the pitch to cause problems. Chris Millington has done a decent job since 1 October 2025, getting his side to play with width and penetration in the middle third while also being dangerous on the counter.
Back and forth match likely
It's certainly a big ask for Solihull to pull out an upset here, but they have won their last two matches – 3-2 at Wealdstone in the National League and 2-1 at home to Kidderminster.
Sutton are solid at home with four wins, one draw and three losses in the league and have won their last two there. Sutton have not won at Solihull, with one draw and one loss in two attempts, so this fixture is evenly poised.
We believe the hosts should edge this, but Solihull's two recent wins have added to the feel of it being a tougher match than the league table indicates. Hence, we are taking Over 2.5 goals at 1.66 and Both Teams To Score at 1.59 to create a little more profit from what should be an open game.
- Solihull have taken two wins, one draw and four defeats away from home in National League 2026-2027, so they remain a little open to the counter and too prone to losing away from their base.
- Jacob Wakeling has scored five goals in 11 appearances for The Moors to top their scoring charts in National League 2026/2027 and Ben Wodskou has also chipped in with two of their six goals in the last five.
- Sutton have averaged 1.25 goals scored and 1.38 goals conceded at home in National League 2026-2027, so we are looking at a game that should stay close while ebbing and flowing.
