Solihull Moors are second in the National League and will be looking to cause an upset in the second round of the FA Cup. They host Rotherham United who are currently fourth in League One and there could be a large carrot dangled in front of these two teams. That's because by the time this game is played, the FA Cup third round draw will have taken place. Who knows? The winner could face Liverpool in the next round?
The home side are a point off the top of the National League, so are pushing hard for promotion to the EFL. They are undefeated in their last six matches and home form has seen them unbeaten in seven (excluding penalty shoot-outs). In the National League this season, they have won nine out of 11 home games, winning nine and losing two. They have had to beat two non-league sides to reach the FA Cup second round. The fourth qualifying round saw them win away at Barrow, who currently top the National League. In the first round, Solihull went to Oxford City and ran out 5-1 winners. Last season saw Solihull hold League One Blackpool to a home draw in the first round before losing the replay 3-2 after extra time.
Rotherham are battling hard to win promotion to the Championship, a season after being relegated. They have won four of their last six league games and that includes an away victory at Ipswich Town who are second in the table. Rotherham have won four of their last five away league matches so come into this cup tie in good form. In the first round, Rotherham also had to travel to a National League side. They beat Maidenhead 3-1 and that was a welcome cup victory. Last season they didn't have to play until the third round and had the misfortune to draw Manchester City away and lost 7-0. Ths is easier of course but the home side are in good form, especially at home. Go for both teams to score in this match.

Our Solihull Moors vs Rotherham Prediction
Rotherham United would have preferred an easier game than this in the second round of the FA Cup. Solihull Mooors are second in the National League and have big plans for the future. They are strong at home and held Blackpool to a draw on home soil last season. Rotherham are chasing promotion back to the Championship but a cup run would bring in some extra finances. A bet on both teams to score looks the one to go for and is backed up by recent stats.
