Match description

Salford City has a clear advantage in chance creation at home: average xG 1.78 and 5.15 shots on target from 15.4 shots per game, while Notts County away record is xG 1.24 and 3.8 shots on target from 10.4 shots. In the last five matches Salford won 4 of 5 (form 'wwwlw'), scoring 6 and conceding only 2, yielding 2.4 points per game, whereas Notts won 3 of 5, scored 13 and conceded 8, averaging 1.8 points per game. Over the season the visitors have more goals (67 vs 55) and a higher shot conversion rate (13% vs 10%), which makes them dangerous in front of goal, but their away clean sheet rate is lower (25% clean sheets vs 40% for Salford). Average goals conceded are similar (1.15 for Salford at home vs 1.05 for Notts away), yet Salford's superiority in chance creation and recent run of results favor the hosts, therefore I predict a Salford victory.
