Solihull Moors
- Solihull Moors have scored 35 goals in 17 home games this season.
- Solihull Moors have adopted a unique and progressive style of soccer under Millington who encourages his players to play with the ball, rotate positions and press in waves.
- However, the hosts will likely be able to dominate the ball here and frustrate visiting Hartlepool United who prefer a much more conservative approach.
Hartlepool United
- Hartlepool United have scored just 16 goals in 16 away games (1.00 per-game).
- Antony Sweeney has been a breath of fresh air for Hartlepool United since taking over in September 2022, as his pragmatic and organised approach has transformed the team from battlers to a force in this division.
- Pools will look to frustrate this Solihull side by setting up with a compact block, pressing selectively and being disciplined in structure.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between these sides ended with a 2-0 home win for Pools.
Key Players
- Conor Wilkinson has been in blistering form for the Moors with two goals in his last five games.
- Jacob Wakeling has provided a consistent scoring threat up front with seven in 22 National League appearances.
Betting Insights
- The odds are: visitors 3.02, home team 2.14, draw 3.32.
- Solihull have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five National League games.
- Hartlepool are winless in five (D3, L2).
- Solihull’s home clashes in this fixture have averaged 2.5 goals-per-game, so the over 2.5 goals market at 1.73 looks very appealing.
Prediction
We’ll side with the home side here given that they’re more likely to cause problems on any given day and can end their two-game home losing run.
