Braintree look the smart bet against Solihull

National League
BT Sport 1, 12.30pm Saturday

Braintree chairman Lee Harding has shown his faith in manager Hakan Hayrettin by appointing the 48-year-old to a second spell in the club's hotseat and his judgement could be vindicated by a surprise victory for the Iron over highflying Solihull Moors.

Hayrettin turned around Braintree's fortunes during a recent spell as caretaker-manager, presiding over two wins, one draw and one defeat, and his charges look a shade overpriced against fifth-placed Moors, whose progress has stalled with 0-0 draws at home to Halifax and Boreham Wood.
