Salford City continue their strong League Two campaign, coming off a 3–2 win over Swindon Town. Given Bristol Rovers' struggles on the road, we predict a 2-1 home win. With only defender Michael Rose sidelined, their squad remains largely intact. Home form is impressive, with 2.17 points per game, 67% win rate, and an average of 4.33 goals per game when combining scoring and conceding, highlighting both attacking firepower and occasional defensive lapses. Salford’s expected goals (xG) of 2.00 at home suggests they create plenty of quality chances.
Bristol Rovers, by contrast, are struggling, particularly away, earning just 1.00 point per game, with a win rate of 25% on the road. Forward Promise Omochere is absent, but the team’s poor scoring record of 1.00 goal per away match limits their threat. Their expected goals of 1.29 shows limited offensive output compared to Salford’s attacking efficiency. Historically, the Lions have the upper hand with two wins and one draw in three meetings against Bristol Rovers, which definitely supports our betting angle.
Given Salford's superior form and H2H advantage, our prediction leans toward Home Win, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and Salford City Over 1.5.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:00.
