Match context and recent form
Solihull Moors return to The ARMCO Arena sitting comfortably above Eastleigh in the table and carrying the kind of home profile that makes them a sensible favorite. The Moors are 10th with 41 points from 30 matches, a side that has scored freely this season and shown more balance between attack and defence than their visitors. Their run across the last ten matches — a mixture of wins, draws and a few losses — still reads better than Eastleigh’s inconsistent sequence. Eastleigh sit 18th with 32 points, their recent results hinting at a side struggling for rhythm: only two wins in their last ten and a worrying string of away difficulties.
Both teams come into the fixture with tangible recent narratives. Solihull’s last outing ended in a 2-0 reverse at York City, but that followed convincing victories and a high-scoring draw earlier in January, underlining their capability to create chances. Eastleigh earned a 2-2 draw with Wealdstone in their most recent match, but that result papered over defensive cracks that have been exposed repeatedly this campaign. The two best player ratings shown in the data — Oliver Tipton for Solihull and Harvey Saunders for Eastleigh in their previous games — point to individuals influencing recent outcomes, but team trends dominate the outlook for this encounter.
Tactical edge and statistical picture
Numbers back up the eye test. Solihull average more shots per game and a higher shots-on-target volume than Eastleigh, and their home goal production (33 at home) gives them the edge when hosting matches. Clean sheet figures also tilt in Solihull’s favor — eight clean sheets versus Eastleigh’s three — indicating that the Moors are better at shutting games down at The ARMCO Arena.
Eastleigh’s defence has been porous on the road, conceding 23 away goals, while their scoring return away from home is modest. The head-to-head meeting earlier in the season ended 1-1, a reminder that Eastleigh can stifle the opposition on occasion, but Solihull’s consistent attacking output and superior home form make them the more likely side to take three points on 10/02/2026.
What this means for bettors
For readers weighing markets, the data argues most clearly for a 1X2 approach: a home win has the strongest foundation. Those who prefer goal markets should note both sides have produced a moderate rate of BTTS and over 2.5 games sits at around 50% for each club — so a goals-based play is possible but less decisive than backing the home side’s superior form.

Betting suggestion
Primary recommendation: back Solihull Moors to win (1X2). Rationale: stronger home form, superior shot and scoring metrics, more clean sheets and Eastleigh’s poor away record. If you prefer a goal market, a conservative alternative is to consider “Both teams to score — yes” only as a secondary option given the mixed BTTS percentages; otherwise the clearest value from the available data is the home victory. Always stake responsibly and size your wager to your bankroll.
