Swindon vs Salford City Predictions

• Swindon have scored 11 consecutive goals in League Two without reply.
• Salford failed to score in two of their last three away games.
• Swindon won both prior league meetings between the clubs.
• Visiting manager Gary Bowyer failed to win in two of his three personal clashes with Swindon.

Swindon remain in the hunt

A run of three straight victories without reply has seen Swindon consolidate their position in the play-off places, though their lead over the chasing pack remains a tenuous one and they must kick on here if they are to maintain their position over the coming weeks.

A new manager bounce could not stop Swindon from putting five goals past Walsall last time out and they will be similarly eager for goals here after scoring four times across their two previous league victories over Salford.

Swindon actually picked up less than half of their points haul at home (42%) though they may well have turned the corner after posting back-to-back league wins at home for the first time this season ahead of this clash.

Stuttering Salford could struggle

A 2-0 Salford victory last time out saw Leyton Orient sack their manager shortly after, though this will be a much tougher challenge against a more settled side.

Each of Salford’s last ten games have posted differing results and they have not won back-to-back league matches since the opening day of 2022.

Simply due to the scintillating scoring form of the hosts, I am siding with Swindon in the ‘draw no bet’ market in order to provide some insurance while retaining value. Salford are no mugs, but I predict that a narrow 2-1 home success is a likely outcome.
