Carlisle United v Solihull Moors (National League) Preview

Venue: Brunton Park
Broadcast: N/A

Match Overview

Unbeaten Carlisle United will be looking to build upon their encouraging start to life in the National League when The Cumbrians entertain Solihull Moors at Brunton Park on Tuesday night after picking up four points from their opening two games of the new season.

Carlisle United suffered relegation from League Two at the end of last season but the club have stuck by manager Mark Hughes whose remit will be to fire the north-east outfit back into the Football League at the first time of asking this season.

A promising start to this new term has seen Carlisle United pick up a 2-0 win away from home at Woking on the opening day of the season followed by gaining a point in an entertaining 3-3 draw at home with Boreham Wood.

Solihull Moors will be desperate to improve upon what was considered a disappointing 14th place finish last season in the National League table this time around but a trip up to Brunton Park on Tuesday night is probably not at the top of manager Matthew Taylor’s wish list right now!

In-between the two draws so far this season in the National League with the west midlands club picking up points in stalemates with Forest Green Rovers and Sutton United respectively, The Moors also suffered a 2-1 loss at home to Everton U21 in the National League Cup as well.

In addition, Solihull Moors lost 10 of their 23 away games in last season’s non-league top flight campaign.

Prediction: Carlisle United win

Red Star Belgrade v Pafos (Champions League) - Preview

Venue: Stadium Rajko Mitić
Broadcast: N/A

Match Overview

Crvena Zvezda (otherwise known as Red Star Belgrade) will get first bite of the proverbial home advantage cherry on Tuesday night as they prepare for the visit of Cypriot visitors, Pafos, when the two teams face off at the Stadium Rajko Mitić in this 1st leg of their Champions League play-off tie.

The Serbian hosts currently sit top of the domestic Mozzart Bet Superliga having exploded out of the blocks after winning each of their four opening games of the new season along with accounting for the likes of Lincoln Red Imps and Lech Poznan in the previous qualifying rounds of this season’s Champions League.

Pafos find themselves in unchartered territory in the early stages of this new season as the Cypriot outfit have never participated in the Champions League before and their previous best was a round of last 16 appearance in the UEFA Conference League.

Nevertheless, Juan Carlos Carcedo’s side find themselves just two legs away from achieving a financially lucrative place in the group stage of this season’s competition following wins in the qualifying rounds against Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dynamo Kyiv respectively.

Team News: Red Star coach Vladan Milojevic is likely to field his strongest team for this 1st leg clash which means a return in goal for Matheus Magalhaes while forward Cherif Ndiaye should start up front. Defender Rodrigao and midfielder Rade Krunic are both suspended for this tie.

Pafos will also be missing midfielder Domingos Quina through suspension but forwards Jaja, Anderson Silva and Muamer Tankovic are all pushing for starts in attack.

Prediction: Red Star Belgrade win

Predicted Line-Ups

Red Star Belgrade (Crvena zvezda) (likely 4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Matheus Magalhães
Defence: Milan Rodic, Aleksandar Dragovic, Nemanja Milunovic, Stefan Mitrovic
Midfield: Guelor Kanga, Hwang In-beom
Attack: Osman Bukari, Jean-Philippe Krasso, Aleksandar Katai
Striker: Cherif Ndiaye

Pafos FC (likely 4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Artur Rudko
Defence: Marcelo, Danilo Arboleda, Mamadou Coulibaly, Ivo Rodrigues
Midfield: Jairo, Bruno Tavares, Will Mannion (DM)
Attack: Jajá, Muamer Tankovic, Anderson Silva

Tactical Notes
Red Star at home will set up aggressively, with Kanga and Hwang pulling strings in midfield. The attacking trio of Bukari, Krasso, and Katai can interchange to drag defenders out of position, while Ndiaye gives them a focal point inside the box. Expect plenty of crosses and quick switches of play as Red Star look to overwhelm Pafos early.

Pafos are likely to keep a compact 4-3-3 shape, focusing on counters through Tankovic’s creativity and Anderson Silva’s direct running. Jajá adds flair but discipline will be crucial against a Red Star side that loves to dominate possession and create overloads in the final third.

——

Carlisle United (likely 4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Harry Lewis
Defence: Fin Back, Sam Lavelle, Ben Barclay, Jack Robinson
Midfield: Jordan Gibson, Jayden Harris, Dylan McGeouch, Jack Diamond
Attack: Luke Armstrong, Sean Maguire

Solihull Moors (likely 4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Nick Hayes
Defence: James Clarke, Callum Howe, Fiacre Kelleher, Harry Boyes
Midfield: Joey Jones, Joss Labadie
Attack: Josh Kelly, Jack Stevens, Joe Sbarra
Striker: Mark Beck

Tactical Notes
Carlisle are expected to stick with a compact 4-4-2, looking to press high when possible but mainly relying on their midfield to control the tempo. Gibson and Diamond will be tasked with providing width and service into Armstrong and Maguire, a duo that can cause problems aerially and on the turn.

Solihull Moors’ 4-2-3-1 should allow them to keep bodies in midfield, with Sbarra’s movement between the lines being a key outlet. Beck up top offers a physical presence, but they’ll likely need pace from wide areas to stretch Carlisle’s back four at Brunton Park.

TipMan’s Final Word

Tuesday night’s double pairs two very different fixtures but both carry real intrigue. Carlisle’s push to bounce back into the Football League looks well on track, with Armstrong and Maguire leading a front line that has already shown its cutting edge. Against a Solihull side who struggled away from home last season and have yet to convince in 2025/26, Brunton Park feels set for another statement performance from Mark Hughes’ men.

Meanwhile, in Belgrade, Red Star bring pedigree, home advantage, and an attacking trio capable of overwhelming most defences in Europe. Pafos have shown resilience in reaching this stage, but their first-ever Champions League play-off comes against a side unbeaten domestically and seasoned at this level. With Ndiaye spearheading the attack and creative threats all around him, the hosts look well-placed to seize control of the tie before the return leg.

Put together, the double combines a confident National League pick with a proven European heavyweight. Both matches point towards strong home wins, making this a balanced, stats-backed selection with the potential to deliver solid value for Tuesday night punters.
