Stockport County form and stats

Perfect National League season at home so far for Stockport County, who have the most scored goals (12) in National League, 2 wins from 2 appearances. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Stockport has won their last four matches.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Chesterfield (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) in the FA Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. In the game before, an away victory in the National League match versus Chesterfield with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Stockport County have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost four.

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

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Stockport County at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Solihull Moors form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the National League ended in defeat. Last season Solihull Moors had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 3, drew 9 and lost 7.

300 minutes! That's how long the Solihull goalkeeper Ryan Boot and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Solihull Moors are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the FA Cup against Wrexham (placed 11th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Boreham Wood.

As you can tell from the results above, Solihull was very dominant against Wrexham, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with J. Sbarra (2) and A. Rooney providing the goals.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Solihull Moors playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Solihull wins, four draws and two defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Solihull Moors now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Maidenhead United is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but Solihull Moors has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: one - two - five (Stockport County wins - draws - Solihull Moors wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
