Salford City have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the League Two. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Salford City manager G. Alexander and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Morecambe (placed 20th) in the League Two. Before that, Salford City had a EFL Trophy home game versus Aston Villa U21 which ended with a victory 2-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Salford City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Salford City, as the League Two home game vs Grimsby Town is only three days away.

The Salford City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 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 2 from 3 matches.

Cheltenham Town form and stats

With two straight losses from their last two away games, Cheltenham Town are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Cheltenham Town won their last game, 4-2 versus Stevenage played at home. It was a EFL Trophy defeat before that one as the away game against Exeter City wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
