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.
