Cheltenham Town
- Cheltenham Town have been very solid so far in League Two 2026/2027 and find themselves 4th in the table after nine rounds.
- With 15 points on the board, The Robins are firmly in the promotion race.
- Steve Cotterill has clearly set up a solid and compact style for his team, which looks to frustrate opponents through measured pressing and direct counter-attacks.
- Cheltenham have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games, with their most recent results being a 2-2 draw at home to Exeter City in the EFL Trophy (Cheltenham won on penalties), a 2-1 home win against Chesterfield and a 2-0 defeat away at Accrington Stanley.
Salford City
- Salford City come into this game on the back of two successive wins, smashing Oldham Athletic 4-1 away before edging Fleetwood Town 1-0 at home last time out.
- The Ammies have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five and have a narrow lead at the top of the table with 16 points from their nine fixtures.
- Salford are the favorites to win this one at 1.9, while Cheltenham are 3.65 and the draw 3.7.
Head-to-Head
- Cheltenham are unbeaten at home in League Two 2026/2027, having won three and drawn one of their four games at The Completely-Suzuki Stadium, conceding just six times.
- Cheltenham are unbeaten in the last three head-to-heads with Salford.
- Salford have failed to win either of their previous two away to Cheltenham.
Key Players
- Charlie McCann is the key man for Cheltenham, with the winger having seven League Two 2026/2027 goals in eight appearances, while Joe Powell is Salford's threat, with three goals in the same number of games.
- Cheltenham have conceded six goals in four home games and Salford have conceded eight on their travels, so both defences can be tested here.
Betting Insights
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 looks the sharpest price from the alternatives.
- Both Teams to Score at 1.57 appeals more, considering the attacking quality in both sides.
- Match odds to note: Salford 1.9, Cheltenham 3.65, Draw 3.7.
Prediction
- Salford have failed to win either of their previous two away to Cheltenham and The Robins are in top form at the moment, so I think they have enough to hold off the Ammies.
- Expect an exciting match in England on Saturday at The Completely-Suzuki Stadium.
