Two teams who were expected to feature in the National League playoffs, only Solihull Moors can finish inside the top seven. Boreham Wood will have another season in the fifth tier of English soccer with a kickoff at 5 pm.
Boreham Wood, who captured the hearts and minds of English football with their remarkable run to the FA Cup fifth round, has since fallen off a cliff.
The Hertfordshire side did hold promotion in their own hands before their trip to Merseyside, but they’ve mustered just two victories across all competitions since then.
Before that match, Boreham Wood held the lead in the league title race and was within reach of a playoff spot. However, a horrific run of form has not only seen them drop out of both competitions but also out of playoff contention altogether.
Midweek defeat away to Grimsby Town ended any lingering hopes of a top-seven finish for Boreham Wood, but the club could still have an important say in the National League playoff race.
With second place securing a playoff semi-final spot and third place entering the eliminator stage, Solihull will strive to hold onto their current position in third. Jumping into the top three on the penultimate weekend of the season, a gutsy 3-1 win against Dagenham & Redbridge saw the Moors leapfrog FC Halifax Town.
