Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sutton United in 15th and Solihull Moors in 9th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Solihull Moors's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Solihull Moors have performed like this: Played two matches resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeats with the goal stats 5-3 (scored/conceded).

Sutton United form and stats

5-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League numbers at home for Sutton United so far this season. Sutton United has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at The Borough Sports Ground. We remember; it was Bromley.

Stress levels are on the rise for Sutton United's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. C. Dundas was their last goal scorer.

An away draw last time out for Sutton United, facing Stockport County in a game that ended 0-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Chesterfield.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sutton United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sutton United as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Sutton United has won 5 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Sutton United have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Borough Sports Ground with 26 goals in 15 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.

Solihull Moors form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Solihull Moors so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-6 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Solihull Moors has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Solihull Moors have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 191 minutes ago. P. McCallum was the goal scorer.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Vanarama National League home defeat versus Boreham Wood with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Solihull Moors manager T. Flowers faced defeat when travelling to Darlington and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Solihull Moors in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Solihull Moors, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

After this away game Solihull Moors return home for a Vanarama National League game against Barrow. That game is only three sleeps after this.
