At Least One Goal in First Half
In this fixture, no team has a better record against the other. But because both teams face each other after a good run of results in their last five games, we expect at least a goal in the first half. Both teams have lost only one match in their last fixtures. Moreover, both teams have scored in three of their last five games. Salford welcomes Mansfield on the back of a 2-0 away victory a few days ago. Mansfield visits Salford after a 3-0 victory against Scunthorpe at home.
Less than Three Goals
Another plausible outcome in this fixture is backing a low scoreline. Both teams have scored less than three goals in four of their five fixtures. And with the visitors looking more defensive than the hosts, especially after recording five draws with less than three goals in their last ten games, fewer than three goals is very likely.
Salford to Win
The reason we are backing to Salford to win is simple. Despite losing the reverse fixture 2-1, the hosts found the net. Salford is now 9th on the League Two table and only need three points to get into promotion playoffs spot. They have the third-best home record in League, winning nine, drawing 11 and losing only one game at home with only four fixtures to go. Moreover, given the significance of this fixture to the hosts, and their current good form; they look more likely to win than the visitors.
