Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Salford City in 11th and Bradford City in 16th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Salford City form and stats

Salford City have collected 10 points from their League Two home games so far after 2-4-0.

Salford are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Bolton Wanderers. Before that match, a EFL Trophy win away at Rochdale.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Salford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost two.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Morecambe in only three days. This game is also played here at The Peninsula Stadium.

Salford have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Peninsula Stadium with 10 goals in 6 league matches. Salford City are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Peninsula Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 6 matches.

Bradford City form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Bradford City have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bradford have lost on their last two travels.

There were no winners in Bradford's previous match, a League Two home game that ended 2-2 vs Exeter City (placed 4th). The game before that, in the EFL Trophy, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Oldham Athletic.

We have checked recent matches where Bradford have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, three draws and five defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Bradford City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Leyton Orient is waiting in only three days.

Bradford City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Bradford have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Salford, one draw and zero wins for Bradford City. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
