Salford City form and stats

Overall League Two stats playing at home this season for Salford City are 10-5-7 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Salford City, who won 3-2 against Carlisle United (placed 5th). Midfield player Bolton got a match rating of 8.81 in that game, the max score being 10. Bolton scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Before that match, a win away at Walsall.

Betting people might want to know that 12 of the latest 15 league matches from these players have had goals from both sides.

The Salford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 28 in 22 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Gillingham form and stats

Gillingham have only collected 14 points from their away games in the League Two, after 2-8-12 (22 played).

Gillingham might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Newport County proved too strong as Gillingham slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at MEMS Priestfield Stadium. That loss was their first after three consecutive league fixtures winning points. The attacker Nichols got a match rating of 7.65 in that game. Nichols scored one goal and hit three key passes.

A 2-2 draw at Bradford City's stadium before that.

Low on goals? 32 of this club's most recent 42 league fixtures have contained zero, one or two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gillingham as they have only managed to score 14 times from 22 away games in the league. Gillingham have conceded 29 goals in these away matches.
