Data provided by

League Two leaders Salford City travel to the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday night, where Bristol Rovers host them at 7.45pm with two very different seasons laid bare.

Our Bristol Rovers vs Salford City predictions look at whether the runaway leaders can handle a home side that has been transformed on its own patch. Salford City have won five on the spin and sit top of the table, but Bristol Rovers boast four wins from five at home, so there is a genuine clash of form to unpick here.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson has gone for two bets at the Memorial Stadium, backing Bristol Rovers in the corners market and Salford City to win a game with goals at both ends.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Bristol Rovers to have most corners6/5 (bet365)Bristol Rovers have been a different side at the Memorial Stadium, winning four of their five home games and scoring 10 goals in the process. Back in front of their own crowd against the league leaders, the hosts should be the ones forcing the pace, and if Salford City settle in to protect a lead, Rovers will spend long spells camped in the final third. That territorial pressure usually shows up in the corner count, and at 6/5 we like the hosts to come out on top in that market given how aggressively they attack at home.
Salford City to win and both teams to score18/5 (William Hill)Salford City have won all five of their last five league games to open a gap at the top, and they have the firepower to win here, with Macaulay Langstaff four goals to the good already. The both-teams-to-score angle is where the value sits, though. Bristol Rovers have scored in most of their home outings and found the net 10 times across five games at the Memorial Stadium, so shutting them out entirely looks a tall order. Salford have also conceded in recent wins, including a 2-1 success over Crawley Town, and 18/5 for the leaders to edge a goal-filled game appeals.

At the Memorial Stadium the picture is far brighter, with four wins from five (W4 L1) and 10 goals scored on home soil.

How Salford City go into the game

Salford City top the table on 22 points from 11 games, unbeaten in their last five and fresh from a 2-1 home win over Crawley Town.

On the road they have been more mixed, winning two of five (W2 D1 L2), but they have still plundered 10 goals across those away trips.
