Accrington Town open round 31 with confidence after a deserved 3-1 win over Cheltenham, and John Doolan’s side enter this match with no fresh injury worries. Given Salford's attacking potential, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Their recent form (WLDWW) shows stability, while at home they average 1.80 points per game and score 1.20 goals per match. Defensively, Accrington have been solid with 40% clean sheets overall and only 0.80 goals conceded per game, supported by a respectable 1.23 xGA.
Salford City, sitting 3rd, travel in exceptional form. Karl Robinson's troops have won four straight away games, posting a perfect 3.00 PPG on the road and scoring 2.50 goals per away match. Even though key defender Brandon Cooper is unlikely to feature, the Lions still maintain a strong defensive structure, conceding just 1.00 goal per match. Their attack is productive, with an overall scoring average of 1.90 per game and the league’s in-form frontline.
The H2H record is perfectly balanced (3–1–3), though five of the seven meetings have gone over 2.5 goals, hinting at another open contest. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting tip, alongside BTTS and Salford to Win or Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Thursday 5 February 2026 at 20:01.
