Salford City vs Northampton Predictions

Salford can continue impressive home winning form

Salford should be backed to beat Northampton at the Peninsula Stadium on Saturday. The visitors are struggling to find the back of the net this season and that could prove crucial in this game.

Salford are top of League Two, having won ten of their 14 games this season, while Northampton are 21st in the table with three wins, five draws and five defeats.

Salford maintained their winning run with a 2-1 victory over Exeter two weeks ago, dominating possession with 66.5%. Luke Garbutt and Will Aimson scored for Salford, who have now won all seven of the matches in which they have been priced odds-on this season.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence. Northampton have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight League Two games.

Salford’s attack has been in prolific form, with the hosts scoring in 12 of their last 14 league games. They have netted two goals or more in five consecutive League Two matches, including a 4-2 victory over Walsall two weeks ago.

Salford are in form at home, having won 12 of their last 14 League Two games at home. They have gone six games unbeaten and have lost just one of the last ten on their own patch.

Salford have been strong at home this season, winning six of their seven League Two games, and have claimed victory in the last two meetings with Northampton by a single goal. A 2-1 win for Salford is the correct-score pick.
