Woking and Solihull Moors meet at the Kingfield Stadium on Tuesday evening in a National League fixture that matters at both ends of the top-half race. Woking sit 10th on 59 points, with Jermain Defoe’s side still clinging to outside hopes of pushing the pack above them. Solihull Moors are three places and seven points worse off in 13th, which leaves Chris Millington’s team with less margin for error if they want to climb into a more comfortable finish.
This is not a promotion six-pointer, but it does carry weight. Woking have been one of the more entertaining mid-table sides in the division, while Solihull’s season has been a strange one — enough goals to keep them interesting, not enough defensive control to turn that into a stronger position. Woking’s 5-1 demolition of Morecambe on 11 April was a proper statement after a run of draws, and Solihull’s goalless draw at Southend the same day left them steady rather than secure. There’s a bit of tension here. One side is chasing momentum, the other is still trying to find a cleaner version of itself.
Woking’s recent story is one of resilience first, fireworks second. Before the Morecambe rout, they’d gone four matches unbeaten, and even that run was built on stubbornness as much as fluency. They drew 0-0 at Braintree Town on 6 April, then came a wild 3-3 home draw with Eastleigh on 3 April, followed by another 1-1 at home to Altrincham on 31 March. The only blot in that sequence was the 1-0 defeat at York City on 28 March, and even that didn’t knock them out of rhythm for long. Then Morecambe arrived in the latest home game and got battered.
That 5-1 win was a proper jolt. Woking weren’t outrageous with the ball — xG of 1.63 is solid rather than spectacular — but they were ruthless, and the goals came at just the right times. Harry Beautyman opened the scoring early, Aaron Drewe and Jack Nolan added to the damage before the break, and late strikes from Oliver Sanderson, Sam Ashford and Sanderson again made the scoreline look even more brutal. It was efficient and nasty in the best way. You want goals? They gave them. You want swagger? They had plenty.
At home this season, Woking have been reliable enough without being dominant: seven wins, nine draws and five defeats, with 37 scored and 25 conceded. That’s a decent attacking return, and it tells you why their matches often drift towards goals. They’re not a side that smothers games, but they do create chances, and the home record shows they usually find a way to get on the board. The defensive numbers are respectable too, though not airtight. When they open up, the door can swing both ways. That’s been the pattern for most of the campaign.
Solihull Moors come into this one in a more uneven state. Their latest result was a 0-0 draw at Southend United on 11 April, a match they did well to keep level after being outshot and spending long spells without much attacking threat. Before that, they beat Boreham Wood 4-1 at home on 6 April, which was the kind of result that briefly hints at something sharper and more dangerous. But there’s been a familiar stop-start feel to it all. A 1-0 defeat at Tamworth, a 1-0 win over Altrincham, a 1-1 draw at Truro City and a 3-0 home loss to FC Halifax Town have left them searching for consistency again.
The bigger issue is balance. Solihull have scored 67 league goals, which is more than Woking and a healthy tally for a side in 13th, but they’ve also conceded 68. That’s a leaky profile, and it explains why so many of their games feel open without always being cleanly controlled. They can score at a decent rate, yet their defensive work keeps dragging them back into scrappy territory. The 4-1 win over Boreham Wood showed what they can do when the attacking side clicks. The 0-0 at Southend showed the other side — when the chance creation dries up, they’re not the sort to force the issue for long.
Away from home, Solihull have taken 24 points from 21 matches, with five wins, nine draws and seven losses. That’s not disastrous, but it’s distinctly ordinary, and the goals column away from home is a concern: 23 scored and 29 conceded. They’ve drawn a fair few on the road, which tells you they’re often competitive enough to hang around, but not forceful enough to land consistent punches. Can they do better here? They’ll need to, because Woking at home aren’t the type to gift you much unless you’re sharp early and willing to attack the space.
These two have produced some lively meetings in recent seasons, and Woking have had the better of the most recent encounters. In the reverse fixture on 30 September 2025, Woking went to Solihull and won 3-0, which was a clean, emphatic away performance. Before that, Woking edged the home match 1-0 in February 2025, while Solihull had won 2-1 at their place in October 2024.
There’s a pattern worth respecting here too. Woking have been the first team to score in six of the last eight meetings, and that matters in a match like this. If they land the first blow again, Solihull will have to chase, and chasing has not been their strongest suit. Solihull did win 3-0 at home in January 2024, but Woking’s general edge in the more recent head-to-heads is hard to ignore.
We’re backing Over 2.5 Goals at 8/11 for this one. It’s not a wild call. Woking have just come off a 5-1 home win, their home matches regularly carry attacking intent, and Solihull’s season-long profile is far too loose at the back to trust in a low-scoring cage-fight. Add in the fact that Woking have scored 37 times at home and Solihull have conceded 29 away, and the route to three goals feels pretty direct.
The 2-1 scoreline fits the picture neatly. Woking look the cleaner side right now, especially at Kingfield, but Solihull have enough attacking quality to nick a goal and keep things honest for spells. If you want a smaller alternative, Woking to score first has some appeal too, given the recent head-to-head trend and Solihull’s habit of starting away games a little passively. Still, the main play is the goals line. This should open up.
