Preview: Solihull Moors vs. Aldershot Town - prediction, team news, lineups

Meanwhile, the away side make the journey in search of a third consecutive league victory as they look to continue their recent upturn in form.

Match preview

Off the back of four straight defeats, Solihull Moors got themselves back on track thanks to a narrow 2-1 victory over Oldham Athletic on Saturday.

Neal Ardley's men raced to a commanding two-goal lead in the early exchanges of the second half thanks to Joe Sbarra and Andrew Dallas before John Rooney pulled one back in the penultimate minute of normal time.

With 33 points from a possible 63 so far, the Moors sit seventh in the National League table and hold a two-point gap over the chasing pack in the race for the last playoff spot.

Lying in store next is the task of facing off against an opposing outfit who have suffered defeat in each of the last five meetings between the teams.

Having recently picked up a first home victory since October, Saturday's hosts now set out to record consecutive wins in front of their fans.

Aldershot claimed a second straight 2-0 triumph as they saw off the threat of Gateshead when the teams faced off at Gateshead International Stadium on Saturday.

Following a relatively uneventful opening 45 minutes, second-half goals from Ryan Glover and Justin Amaluzor got the job done for Ross McNeilly's men.

Consequently, The Shots have climbed up to 15th place in the league standings, three points off a place in the top half with a game in hand.

Off the back of a first away clean sheet since October last time out, Saturday's visitors will be aiming to put on another solid defensive display away from home.

Team News

Joe Sbarra has been directly involved in three of Solihull's last four goals on home turf, making the midfielder one to keep an eye on here.

Fiacre Kelleher is a doubt for this weekend after missing the home side's victory over Oldham last time out due to a minor injury problem.

Aldershot's Inih Effiong made his return to action off the bench against Gateshead and will be pushing to be named in the starting XI this time.

Having scored in each of the visitors' last two matches, 26-year-old Englishman Justin Amaluzor is expected to retain his place in the lineup.

Solihull Moors possible starting lineup:

Boot; Jones, Sbarra, Coker, Clarke; Gudger, Storer, Osborne, Barnett; Dallas, Kelly

Aldershot Town possible starting lineup:

Hammond; Cordner, Vincent, Harfield, Davies; Alfa, Jordan, Amaluzor, Partington; Willard, Glover

We say: Solihull Moors 2-1 Aldershot Town
