LV BET Preview: The Matchday 26 Stat Pack

Solihull Moors vs. Barrow

Grab your popcorn, take a beer from the fridge and settle in. BT Sport are making perhaps their biggest live offering of the season so far this weekend.

Two title chasers go head-to-head, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Few would have predicted Barrow would be leading the way at this stage and they will be the Christmas number one if they leave Solihull with another win.

Should Ian Evatt’s leaders do the business, they will move ten points ahead of the Moors - but they know a home win will see the gap closed right up in this ever-changing tussle at the top.

Barrow have won six out of seven and are the division’s top scorers by some distance.

But Solihull are exceptional at home, winning each of their last six in front of their own fans.

The stage is certainly set for what could be a thriller in the Midlands on Saturday.
