Solihull Moors prepare to host FC Halifax Town this Saturday in a National League fixture that offers a chance to climb from the relegation zone. The Moors sit 23rd with just seven points from eleven games, but arrive off the back of a morale-boosting 4-2 away win at Woking last weekend.
That victory at the Laithwaite Community Stadium ended a run of three consecutive defeats. James Andrews scored twice in that match, with Josh Wakeling and Sam High also finding the net. The win was a bright spot in a difficult start to the campaign that has seen the team concede 28 goals, the second-worst defensive record in the division.
Opposition preview
FC Halifax Town travel to Damson Park in 15th place, having taken a point from a 1-1 draw with Boston United in their last outing. Their recent form shows two wins, two draws and a single loss across their last five matches. Their lineup against Boston featured a midfield trio of Tom McDermott, Cameron Johnson and Tyrese Trusty, offering a solid base.
Solihull's most recent starting eleven, which secured the win at Woking, lined up in a back five. It included Callum Dunkley and Mitch Carson in defence, with Ryan Woods and James Andrews anchoring the midfield ahead of them. The team's upcoming fixtures present a critical period to gather points.
The match kicks off at Damson Park at 3pm local time on Saturday, 3 October.
