Salford City form and stats

Salford City are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two League Two games here at The Peninsula Stadium. Salford have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The fans are hoping that Salford will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the League Two game against Crawley Town (placed 13th). The attacker Ian Henderson was "man of the match" for Salford with a rating of 7.44/10. Henderson scored one goal and hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Sutton United.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Salford City matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, four draws and zero defeats (from six games).

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Salford City at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Swindon Town form and stats

Only one away game in the League Two so far for Swindon Town and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 victories, 3 draws and 15 losses from 23 travels. Momentum is building for Swindon Town in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Swindon Town delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Tranmere Rovers (placed 7th) in their previous match; a League Two game. Joseph Wollacott (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.85. Wollacott stopped the opponent with two saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

A loss against Carlisle United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Swindon when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning two games.

3 goals so far away for Swindon Town, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
