Preview: EBB Stadium set for an entertaining clash
Aldershot Town welcome Solihull Moors to The EBB Stadium on 03/01/2026 for a match that promises goals and momentum swings. The hosts, sitting 20th with 23 points from 25 games, have been unpredictable but capable of fireworks — their recent 4-1 win over Wealdstone showed they can be clinical in front of goal. Solihull Moors arrive 10th on the table with 34 points, a side that has enjoyed high-scoring home displays this season but who were brought back down to earth by Boreham Wood in their last outing. With Aldershot’s home form producing 23 goals and Solihull’s mixed away returns, this fixture shapes up as a mid-season test of resilience for both teams.
Form and recent trends
Aldershot’s sequence has been jagged: three wins, a draw and six losses in their last ten, but that string includes impressive victories such as 2-0 at Boston United and the 4-1 thrashing of Wealdstone, where Joshua Barrett earned match acclaim. Solihull’s last ten read as five wins, two draws and three defeats — an overall steadier record highlighted by a 7-1 demolition of Tamworth and a 4-1 triumph over Sutton United, though Ben Worman’s side did slip 2-1 to Boreham Wood most recently.
Statistically the fixture leans toward entertaining football. Aldershot boast a 72% rate of matches finishing over 2.5 goals at home, and their matches see both teams find the net more often than not. Solihull themselves have seen just over half of their matches exceed 2.5 goals, and their attack totals — 40 goals overall — suggest they can contribute to a lively scoreline even when travelling. The head-to-head earlier in the season was a one-sided 5-1 win for Solihull at their place, a reminder that either side can explode for multiple goals on the day.
Match narrative and tactical edge
Expect Aldershot to be aggressive on home turf, seeking to press and create openings with an average of 117.72 attacks per match at home. Solihull have the capability to punish space and turn chances into goals, particularly when they find rhythm in forward areas. Defensive fragilities on both sides — evidenced by Aldershot’s 49 goals conceded and Solihull’s 37 conceded — make this a contest where caution may be sacrificed for opportunity.
For bettors wanting a strategic angle, consider timing and market selection carefully; goal markets often present value when one or both teams carry a strong over-2.5 trend.

Betting suggestion Recommended market: Over 2.5 goals. Backing the match to produce three or more goals aligns with Aldershot’s high over-2.5 home percentage and Solihull’s tendency toward open, attacking games. Confidence: moderate — this is a value play based on recent scoring trends and the clubs’ propensity to concede.
