Solihull Moors travel to Scunthorpe on Saturday, 28th February, for another National League fixture.


The Moors were due to play Woking earlier this week in the National League, but following a pitch inspection, the game was postponed.


The Moors sit in 11th place with 42 points, the same as Aldershot Town and Tamworth, but only a point separates Solihull from Boston United, who have played two more games than The Moors.


Solihull Moors have managed to score seven goals in their last five matches and haven’t lost to Scunthorpe United in their last five meetings with the side.


The hosts this week, Scunthorpe, have lost four and drawn one of their last five games.


Their most recent outing saw them host York City on Tuesday evening, which saw York come out victorious in a 3-0 victory.


Scunthorpe currently sit in 5th place in terms of the table with 60 points. A win on Saturday would further secure their chances of getting promoted at the end of the season. 


Last time these two teams met was November last year, which saw The Moors win 3-0 at Damson Park. Three goals came from Tyrese Sinclair, Steven Bradley, who received a red card 11 minutes after scoring, and Tyler French.


Predicted lineups:


Scunthorpe United: Mahady, Starbuck, Boyce, Horton, Denton, Rowley, Ubaezuonu, Westbrooke, Beestin, Roberts, Whitehall.


Solihull Moors: Walker, Clarke, French, Whitmore, Green, High, Moore, Lipsiuc, Worman, Wakeling, Wilkinson


Players to watch


Scunthorpe United – Callum Roberts


28-year-old Callum Roberts could be a crucial player to the hosts this week.


Since being promoted back to the National League at the end of the 2024/25 season, Roberts has been none stop scoring for Scunthorpe.


Currently named as the club’s top goal scorer and 5th in the league, Roberts has scored 15 goals so far this season and grabbed six assists showcasing that he can be a real threat to defenders. 


After not winning a game in their last five fixtures, Scunthorpe will be wanting to win this weekend in an attempt to make their position in the table more secure.


Solihull Moors – Cameron Green 


As The Moors face 6th-place Scunthorpe United, Solihull may look to Cameron Green.


Green’s abilities allow him to not only operate as a solid defender on the left, but also offer attacking threats further up the pitch.


Although he’s only offered one assist so far this season, Green has been an engine at the back for The Moors as he is more than capable of covering a significant amount of ground throughout the full 90 minutes as he proves to be a constant threat in all areas.


The 26-year-old also has bags of experience playing for Reading U18’s and U23’s, Watford U23’s as well as Wrexham, Braintree and Boston United.


With his high work rate and his threats at both ends of the pitch, The Moors may be looking towards Cameron Green.

Moors fall short as Tamworth capitalise on defensive errors. Solihull Moors were unable to build on recent momentum as Tamworth claimed victory, punishing key mistakes in a game short on quality but decided by fine margins. Despite a bright moment from Ben Worman early on, the Moors struggled to create clear chances and were made to pay in the second half. The Moors’ best opportunity of the first half came in the 13th minute when Ben Worman found space on the edge of the box and curled an effort towards the top right-hand corner. It looked destined for the net, but an outstanding defensive header from Rye diverted the ball onto the crossbar. Tamworth largely had the upper hand in the opening period, although neither goalkeeper was truly tested. The game lacked quality in the final third for both sides, with frequent fouls disrupting any rhythm and preventing either team from building sustained attacks. The hosts came close to taking the lead nine minutes into the second half following a Solihull corner. Singh gathered the ball and quickly bowled it out to Lynch, who released Acquaye through on goal, but Laurie Walker reacted well to rush out and meet the striker at his feet. However, from the resulting goal kick, Solihull’s defence faltered. A slip just eight yards out allowed Mols to pounce and deliver a cross to Dan Creaney, who guided his header across goal, off the post and into the net. Despite making several attacking changes, the Moors struggled to pose any real threat, with the final ball consistently failing to find a yellow shirt. Tamworth managed the game effectively in the closing stages and nearly added a second in stoppage time when another defensive error allowed Creaney through, but Walker was equal to his effort on that occasion.
