Tranmere Rovers face Salford City at Prenton Park looking to put an end to their worrying four-game losing streak that has seen them slip to 17th in League Two. As the hosts are low on confidence ahead of Saturday's encounter, we predict a 2-1 away win. Injuries to McGee and Williams further weaken the home side, who have struggled defensively, conceding 2.4 goals per home game. Tranmere’s attack has been inconsistent, scoring only 0.8 goals per home match, and they have kept just one clean sheet in their last five outings.
Salford City seem to be at the top of their game, winning four of their last five matches and sitting fourth in the table with an eye on automatic promotion. The Lions have been prolific away from home, averaging 3.5 goals per game while conceding 1.25. Their expected goals (xG) away figure of 1.38 suggests they can break down stubborn defenses, while recent head-to-head clashes show high-scoring potential, with 69% of meetings going over 1.5 goals.
Considering Salford's superior form and attacking edge on the road, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (69% H2H) and Salford Over 1.5.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
