Salford City form and stats

6 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Salford City have to build on here at The Peninsula Stadium in the League Two.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Thomas King not having conceded a league goal in 203 minutes.

Salford City are returning here after visiting Leyton Orient and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Shephard and Vassell scored the goal(s). The goalie King was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.83 out of ten. King topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Sutton United the opponent.

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 City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 23 games) they have won 13 times, drawn seven and lost three.

The Salford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 15 matches. From these home matches, Salford City have conceded only 12 goals.
