Solihull Moors travel to face Scunthorpe United on Friday 28th August desperate for their first National League points of the season. The BBC reported the head-to-head stats ahead of the fixture, with the Moors currently occupying 24th place after three straight losses.
Their league standing is a serious concern. They have zero points from three games, with a record of zero wins, zero draws, and three defeats. That form leaves them ten points behind early leaders Boreham Wood in the title race. A leaky defence has conceded ten goals while scoring only three, resulting in a minus seven goal difference.
What is Solihull Moors' recent form?
The team's form guide makes for difficult reading. They lost 1-3 to Southend United in the league and followed that with a 1-3 defeat to Middlesbrough U21 in the National League Cup. Another league loss came against Boston United, a 0-2 reverse. Earlier results include a heavy 5-2 loss to Harrogate Town in the National League and a 2-4 pre-season friendly defeat to Northampton Town. This sequence of results underlines the challenge facing the squad as they prepare for the trip north. You can review the team's upcoming schedule on our fixtures page.
How have past meetings with Scunthorpe gone?
Historical encounters offer some encouragement for Solihull Moors supporters. The most recent league meeting on 28th February 2026 ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Before that, on 15th November 2025, the Moors secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Scunthorpe in the National League. Their dominance extends to cup competitions, with a 2-0 win in the FA Trophy on 8th December 2023. These past successes suggest the team can compete with Friday's opponents, despite their current poor run.
What does the league table show?
The National League table presents a stark picture for Solihull Moors. Positions 21, 22, 23, and 24 are the relegation spots, and the club currently fills the bottom one. With three goals scored and ten conceded across their opening matches, tightening up at the back will be essential. The gap to safety, while early, is already a tangible pressure. Fans can track the evolving situation on our dedicated standings page.
What needs to change for Solihull Moors?
Finding a way to stop conceding goals is the immediate priority. Letting in ten in three games is a rate that cannot continue if they are to climb the table. The attacking players also need to turn possession into more clear chances. The team's current goal difference of minus seven highlights the scale of the task. Managerial staff will be drilling organisation into the side during the week. Assessing individual contributions is possible via our stats section, which breaks down player performances.
Friday's match at Scunthorpe represents a critical opportunity to halt the slide. A positive result could provide the foundation for their season. Another defeat would deepen the early-season trouble at the bottom of the National League. The club must use their decent historical record against this opponent as a source of belief. The full squad available for selection is listed on our squad page as they aim to turn their form around.
