Solihull Moors - Southend

Solihull Moors face an urgent need to reset their season as they welcome Southend United to the ARMCO Arena on 22 August 2026 for their matchday 3 National League encounter. The hosts have endured a difficult start to the campaign, suffering consecutive defeats against Harrogate Town and Boston United that have left them searching for their first points of the year. Defensive vulnerabilities have been a recurring theme for the home side, who will need a disciplined performance to stifle their visitors' attacking rhythm.

In contrast, Southend United arrive with confidence after securing back-to-back victories over Altrincham and Scunthorpe United. Their recent form signals a side finding its stride early in the competition. History between these two clubs has often favoured the visitors, including a 2-1 victory for Southend United on 30 August 2025, though their most recent meeting ended in a goalless draw on 11 April 2026.
