Salford City vs Fleetwood Town Predictions

Hosts backed to capitalise

Salford should be backed to beat out-of-form Fleetwood at the Peninsula Stadium on Saturday.

They are seven places above Fleetwood in the table, but just three points separate the two sides. Salford are seventh with four wins and three defeats, while Fleetwood are 14th having won twice and lost two of their eight games.

Salford’s 4-1 win over Oldham last weekend kept up their recent winning trend. Luke Molyneux gave his side the lead in the fifth minute, and Kelly N’Mai, Brendan Wiredu, and Adebola Oluwo also found the net. Salford were comfortable winners at odds of 17/10.

Salford have been in excellent form at home, winning nine of their last 11 League Two games. They come into this match on the back of three consecutive victories.

They have lost just one of their last ten League Two home games.

Salford have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just two goals in four League Two games – an average of 0.50 goals per game. They have kept four clean sheets in their last six on home turf.

The visitors need to turn things around. Fleetwood have failed to win six of their last seven League Two games, and have now gone three matches without recording a victory.

Salford have been in fine form going forward, scoring in their last five league games, and finding the net at least twice in three of those. They ran out 4-1 winners over Oldham last weekend.

They have been strong at home this season, winning three and losing just one of their League Two games. They have won their last two matches 1-0 and, with three of their four victories this season coming by a one-goal margin, a narrow win for Salford looks the best correct-score option.
