Manager: Former AFC Wimbledon and Notts County boss Neal Ardley joined Solihull in June 2021. He was sacked by Notts County despite leading them to the National League play-off final in 2020. He was then defeated by Grimsby in the play-off final last season with Solihull.

Last season: 3rd in National League

One to watch: Striker Andrew Dallas was on the books of Rangers as a youngster, and after joining Cambridge, had an impressive loan spell at Weymouth in the National League. That brought him to the attention of several clubs, with Solihull winning the race for his signature and being rewarded with 20 league goals last season.

Head to head: Played 16, Solihull wins 3, draws 6, Halifax wins 7

Last time they met: The teams drew 0-0 at The Shay in April.
