Salford City take on fellow League Two side Swindon Town in the FA Cup last 64, with 0-1 our predicted outcome due to the Robins' better form. The Lions are unbeaten in five (WWW DW) and have been particularly strong at home, averaging 2.17 points per game and scoring 2.50 goals per match. Their fixtures at the Peninsula Stadium tend to be high-scoring, with home games producing 4.67 goals on average, though their defensive record remains shaky at 2.17 conceded per home match. Defender Adebola Oluwo is doubtful after picking up a knock against Barrow, potentially weakening an already vulnerable back line.
The Robins, on the other hand, head into Saturday's FA Cup game with even stronger momentum, having won four of their last five. Their defensive consistency stands out: they concede just 0.50 goals per game overall, keeping 60% clean sheets, while showing impressive balance both home and away. Their away form is particularly eye-catching, with a 75% win rate and just 0.50 goals conceded per away match, although their attack remains efficient rather than explosive (1.75 goals scored).
Given Swindon's stronger defensive metrics and 75% away win rate, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals as the Robins have been conceding just 0.50 goals per game of late.
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 15:00.
