Salford City vs Stevenage Predictions

• Salford won all four League Two H2Hs between the sides.
• Each of Salford’s last ten home games had a different result from the one before.
• Salford come into this on the back of a home defeat.
• Stevenage failed to score in five of their last seven away games.

Salford to sap Stevenage’s festive spirit

It has been a tough season so far for Salford, who have been plagued by inconsistency in League Two so far. As such, they occupy a position of relative safety, though more needs to be done in order to push for a top-half finish.

While wins have been hard to come by here, Salford have only lost two home league games this term (W4, D5) due to their joint second best home defensive record ahead of this round.

In fact, the only two sides to come here and claim a league win this season currently occupy play-off positions, which will not inspire confidence amongst the Stevenage ranks as they linger just three points above the drop zone.

Sorry Stevenage could struggle

A major contributing factor in Stevenage’s potential relegation woes this term has been their woeful away league performances (W1, D2, L6). That five-point return accounts for just 26% of their points haul and they conceded at least twice in their last four away league games, hinting at another long afternoon here.

Given the sheer drop off in away form that Stevenage are experiencing and Salford’s stubborn back line at home, I predict that this will be a routine home win for Salford at what appears to be a value price as they look to push up the table over the festive period.
