Oldham and Salford go head to head in a high-stakes clash with both sides still chasing promotion objectives. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach, we predict a 1-1 draw. Oldham’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after back-to-back defeats, and they could be without forward Kane Drummond, which may limit their attacking options. Despite those setbacks, their overall form remains strong (1.90 PPG), especially at home where they boast a 75% win rate and an excellent defensive record—just 0.25 goals conceded per game and 75% clean sheets.
Salford, meanwhile, are pushing for automatic promotion but have shown weakness on the road. While their overall form matches Oldham (1.90 PPG), their away performances are a concern, averaging just 0.75 points per game and scoring only 0.50 goals per match. With Ryan Graydon doubtful, their attacking threat could be further reduced. However, the Lions remain defensively solid overall, conceding just 0.70 goals per game.
With both sides evenly matched but showing contrasting strengths, we predict a tight contest with Under 2.5 goals our main betting tip. Additionally, Half-Time Draw, and Draw bets should be considered.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 18 April 2026 at 15:00.
