Southend United take their perfect early-season form on the road this weekend for a National League fixture against Solihull Moors. The Blues have won both of their opening matches and will debut a new pink away kit at Damson Park on Saturday, according to a statistical preview from the club's official channels.
Southend United's two wins from two games represent their best opening to a campaign in many years. The club has not begun a season with three consecutive victories since 1998, making this weekend's trip a chance to match a long-standing record. Their current form contrasts sharply with that of their hosts, Solihull Moors, who have lost both of their fixtures so far and sit bottom of the early standings.
The head-to-head history heavily favors Southend United. In eleven previous meetings, the Blues have won five times, drawn three, and lost just twice. Their recent record at Damson Park is particularly strong, having won the last three visits. The most recent encounter there ended in a 2-1 victory for Southend in August 2025. The overall goal difference in those eleven games shows Southend's dominance.
The official appointed for the game is Michael Robinson. Robinson officiated in the Europa League last season and took charge of an international friendly between Ireland and Qatar. He moved to the English Football League's National Group of Referees this summer after previously working in Ireland. His experience at a higher level will be tested in a competitive National League environment.
All National League matches on Saturday kick off at 12:30pm. Southend's new pink away shirt will be worn for the first time in a competitive match. Solihull's defensive struggles are a notable subplot, as they have conceded seven goals in two games, the highest total in the division. Meanwhile, Southend's squad depth will be tested throughout a busy period, and fans can check the full schedule on our fixtures page. The Blues follow this game with a home fixture against Yeovil Town next Tuesday evening.
