The Iron look to set the pace in a tough away matchup
Scunthorpe United are the favourites for Friday's National League 2026/2027 clash with Solihull Moors at 7/10, with the visitors coming in at 16/5 and the draw at 14/5.
The hosts are the form favourites with 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in their last 5 matches but they have lost their last two games against Southend United and Eastleigh.
The Moors are in poor form too with 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5 games and a 4-game losing streak, so both sides will be desperate to end their recent slump with a win at Glanford Park, England.
Solihull can make things tough for the hosts
Solihull are longer odds but the home side should come out on top here. However, the last meeting ended 3-3 at this ground in the National League 2025/2026, a result which is still fresh in the memory for both teams, so this could be a close game.
The two teams have contrasting styles, with Scunthorpe controlling possession and making most of their advances from the back with overlapping full-backs and plenty of central combination play to overload in numbers.
Solihull, on the other hand, are more direct and look to be more organised in blocks, they use the width of their wing-backs and look to punish the opposition in transition with their pace. This should be a tactical chess match, with the visiting team looking to nullify Scunthorpe's strengths and the Scunthorpe United looking to control the game.
Expect a few goals
Over 2.5 at 29/50 and Both Teams To Score at 27/50 are my main selections here as it looks like the goals are more likely than a cagey 0-0 draw or a 1-0 win for the Scunthorpe United. Scunthorpe are the clear favourite in the outright market and they should win, but as the odds are stacked so heavily in their favour, it's a goal bet I am keen to get on.
The Moors have been leaky at the back, conceding 5 goals in their only away game in the National League 2026/2027.
Alfie Beestin is the main man for the National League 2026/2027 hosts with 1 goal in 3 games so far. Jacob Wakeling has been in fine form for the visitors with 2 goals in 3 games and looks like the main danger man for the National League 2026/2027 newboys. The head-to-head suggests the away team have an edge in this matchup, but with no wins in 2 home games against Solihull and with both in poor form, it could be a tight match in the National League 2026/2027.
The National League 2026/2027 is a tough league with the best players in non-league football, and the two sides could easily get their best players involved in a goal spree on Friday, but Beestin's ability to make a difference when it counts could be the deciding factor in a tight game.
