Solihull Moors form and stats

Solihull Moors, who have the most clean sheets (7) in National League, have been very solid at home in the National League so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 7th position in the table. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Solihull after consecutive victories at their own ground.

It's back home for Solihull, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Dover Athletic away with the result 2-0. N. Cameron and K. Hudlin found the net in that victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Aldershot Town (2-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Solihull perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Solihull Moors as a small favourite), we find five games. Solihull Moors has won three of these, drawn one and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National League game versus Wealdstone in only four days. This game is also played here.

A decent goal production from Solihull in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Solihull have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.

Notts County form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their National League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

County aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 235 league minutes without a goal. J. Reeves was the last player to find the net.

Notts County's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Torquay United that finished 0-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Stockport County.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Notts County playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four County wins, zero draws and seven defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the County manager N. Ardley as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Weymouth.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).

Head 2 Head
