Match context and recent form
Boreham Wood return to Meadow Park on 30 December buoyed by a purple patch that has them sitting second in the Enterprise National League table. The hosts have ripped through opponents lately — wins over Carlisle United (2-0) and a clinical 4-0 at Wealdstone on Boxing Day underline a side in confident mood. Statistically their campaign reads like a title-challenger: 15 wins from 23, 46 goals scored and a robust defensive record with just 21 conceded. Ten clean sheets and a healthy home goals tally (20 at Meadow Park) illustrate how dangerous they are on home soil.
Solihull Moors arrive with momentum of their own after an extraordinary 7-1 demolition of Tamworth. That result bookends a run that includes big wins and a couple of draws; they sit 10th in the table with a well-balanced mix of results — nine wins, seven draws. But the away numbers are telling: only nine goals scored on the road this season and 15 conceded away from home. The contrast between their prolific home scoring (30 goals) and struggles away from their own turf is stark, and it might be decisive here.
