General match analysis
Salford City are top of the table and have won 4 of their last 5 home matches, while bottom-placed Crawley Town have lost 3 of their last 5 matches overall. The hosts scored 9 goals and conceded 4 across those five games, while the visitors scored 8 but conceded as many as 11. Salford’s biggest advantage is their defensive record at home: they concede an average of 0.4 goals per match and keep a clean sheet in 60% of games, whereas Crawley concede 1.75 goals away from home and have yet to keep a clean sheet. Salford average 1.84 xG at home, more than Crawley’s 1.6 xG away, although they convert those chances into just 1 goal per game. This poor finishing, combined with the visitors’ ability to create chances, leaves room for an upset, but Salford’s 80% home win rate compared with Crawley’s 25% away win rate clearly points to the hosts.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS landed in 50% of Salford’s home matches and 75% of Crawley’s away matches, while the rate across the teams’ last 5 games was 60%. The case for both teams to score is supported by the fact that neither side has kept a clean sheet in the home or away matches analysed; Salford conceded an average of 2.0 goals at home, while Crawley conceded 1.75 away. Their attacking potential is reflected in xG figures of 1.39 for Salford at home and 1.60 for Crawley away, although Salford scored an average of just 0.75 goals at home and failed to score in 50% of those matches. This risk limits confidence in the prediction, but the visitors’ poor defence, conceding an average of 2.2 goals over their last 5 matches, tips the assessment in favour of BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line has been reached in 75% of Salford City matches and 100% of Crawley Town matches. Both teams have conceded at least one goal in every match so far, with average goals conceded of 2.00 and 1.75, respectively. In their last five matches, Salford averaged 1.8 goals scored, while Crawley conceded 2.2 per game, increasing the hosts’ chances of finding the net. Crawley average 1.60 xG, and Salford allow opponents chances worth 1.96 xG, so the visitors also have a good chance of scoring. The projected total of 2.98 goals favors Over 1.5, while the 2.5 line is less certain, as it has been exceeded in only 50% of the teams’ matches so far.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Salford have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring an average of 1.8 goals, while Crawley have lost 3 matches and conceded an average of 2.2 goals. Salford led at the break in 2 of those 5 matches and were never trailing, whereas Crawley went into half-time behind in 4 of 5 matches, conceding an average of 1.4 goals in the first half. After the break, Salford scored an average of 1.2 goals and won the second half in 3 of 5 matches, increasing the likelihood of holding on to any lead. Caution is warranted given the hosts’ home record this season—0 wins in 4 matches—but the marked difference in recent form most strongly supports Salford leading at the break and winning after 90 minutes in the HT/FT market.
