Solihull Moors vs Rotherham Predictions

Solihull Moors beat Stockport County 4-1 away last time out and sit second in the National League table, a point behind leaders Barrow, while Rotherham United lost 3-2 away at Portsmouth in their last league outing but remain fourth in the table and are just five points off the automatic promotion places. All the stats heading into Monday’s clash suggest we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals and we have backed the League One side to show their class and claim a 2-1 victory.

Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in four of Solihull Moors’ last six and three of Rotherham’s last five matches, so both teams head into Monday’s match in good scoring form but with very few clean sheets in their name. Solihull have lost twice at home this season and Rotherham have won six times on the road, so you can start to see why we have backed a narrow win for the League One side on Monday.

Solihull have scored 22 goals at home and conceded nine goals; Rotherham have scored 17 goals on the road, more than they have in their own backyard, and have conceded 11 goals. Solihull’s home games average 2.82 goals and Rotherham’s away games average 2.80 goals, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for over 2.5 goals to be scored.

Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 73% of Solihull’s home games and 60% of Rotherham’s away games this season, and both teams have scored in 64% of Solihull’s home games as well as in 60% of Rotherham’s away games. A majority of Rotherham’s wins have been obtained with a one-goal margin this season (five wins), while a majority of Solihull Moors’ defeats have had a one-goal margin (five defeats).

We’re confident both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Monday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Rotherham. The visitors play two leagues above their hosts and have the stronger playing squad on paper. But with both teams in good form and battling for promotion this season we are expecting a very close and competitive game.
