Salford City form and stats
Salford City have collected 20 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-5-2. Two home wins in a row for Salford bring valid hopes of a third.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Mansfield Town.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 24 games) they have won 13 times, drawn eight and lost three.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Mansfield Town's place.We have checked recent matches where Carlisle United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were zero victories, four draws and two defeats.
