Bristol Rovers vs Salford City Predictions

• Salford can leapfrog Bristol Rovers into the play-off positions with victory.
• Salford are unbeaten in six straight away league games.
• Bristol followed four straight wins up with one win across their last three.

A pivotal play-off battle

With just two points separating these sides, this game could very well go a long way to deciding who ends up in the play-off positions when all is said and done.

Bristol Rovers are imperious at home, not being beaten since early December. However, they have had a slight wobble of late, with just one win across their last three games allowing Salford to close the gap on them.

Rightfully outsiders on the balance of things, Salford come into this on the longest current unbeaten run of away league games (W3, D3). The last H2H meeting was a stalemate, showing just how tight this clash could be.

Follow the value

This game is on a knife edge, both sides are amongst the best recent performers in the division, Joey Barton’s only prior H2H ended level while visiting boss Gary Bowyer saw two of his four meetings with Bristol Rovers end level.

Despite the former, we are siding with the visitors in the ‘draw no bet’ market, perhaps by a slender 2-1 scoreline, though the draw insurance could be a necessary caveat.
