Salford City vs Cheltenham Predictions

• Cheltenham have lost all five of their League Two matches, failing to score on four occasions
• Salford have won their last two home league meetings with Cheltenham
• The Ammies have won three of their last four League Two outings

Ambitions Ammies should take some stopping

Salford’s three-match winning streak in League Two came to an end with last weekend’s 1-0 loss at Walsall, but they can get back on the victory trail when they entertain an out-of-sorts Cheltenham.

The Ammies have long had ambitions of climbing up the EFL ladder and they finally look settled under manager Karl Robinson, who has made some astute signings in their bid to improve upon last season’s eighth-placed finish.

A place in the playoffs should be well within reach for Salford, while beating the drop could be the target for Cheltenham after their lacklustre start.

The Robins are rooted to the foot of the table, having lost each of their opening five League Two matches, and they have leaked 11 goals while scoring only once.

On their last away league trip, Cheltenham were blown away 5-0 by MK Dons and they have also had less time to prepare for this fixture following Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat in the EFL Cup at League One highfliers Cardiff.

Early evidence suggests that Michael Flynn’s side could be set for a season of struggle and they are easy to oppose at Salford, who may be worth backing to record a 2-0 victory just as they did when hosting the Robins last season.
