Match Preview
Salford City will host Cheltenham Town at The Peninsula Stadium on Friday evening, with both teams looking to improve their fortunes in League Two. Salford comes into this match in relatively good form, having secured two wins and a draw in their last five outings. In contrast, Cheltenham has struggled significantly, managing just one point from their last five matches, which puts them under pressure to turn their season around. One interesting angle to consider is Salford's strong home record against Cheltenham, having won four of their last five meetings at this venue. The odds reflect Salford's status as favourites, with a win priced at 1.65. Given Cheltenham's defensive vulnerabilities, combined with Salford's attacking prowess, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.72 could be worth exploring, especially considering that both teams have shown a tendency to find the net in recent encounters. As Salford looks to maintain their momentum, Cheltenham will need to step up significantly to avoid another defeat.
