Match Preview | Solihull Moors

The Bees host Solihull Moors at The Hive on Tuesday night as they look to turn the positives from the draw with Wrexham into another 3 points.

 

Brennan’s side come into the match on the back of a competitive draw with league leaders Wrexham, with The Bees feeling they probably should have come away with all 3 points.

 

Solihull head to the Hive on the back of a 2-2 draw with nearly relegated Yeovil Town but will be eager to put another 3 points on the board to finish the season strongly.

 

The two sides have met competitively on 10 occasions, with the Bees winning just 2. The remaining 8 saw 4 draws and 4 Solihull victories.
