Data provided by

Salford City host Crawley Town at Moor Lane at 3pm on Saturday, with the league leaders welcoming the division’s bottom club to Greater Manchester.

Our Salford City vs Crawley Town predictions and betting tips weigh up a League Two meeting between a Salford side top of the pile and a Crawley team rooted to the foot of the table. With the leaders strong at home and the visitors leaking goals, a home win looks the likeliest outcome, and Macaulay Langstaff is central to our thinking.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson makes Salford strong favourites and fancies their talisman to leave his mark.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Macaulay Langstaff to score anytime4/5 (bet365)Langstaff is the division’s marquee marksman and the standout scorer in this fixture, which is why the bookmakers rate him odds-on to find the net. Salford top the table and have won four of their last five, scoring in every one, while Crawley have conceded 15 goals already and kept not a single clean sheet in eight games. Against a bottom-of-the-table defence that ships goals for fun, Salford’s main man is well placed to add to his tally, and at 4/5 he looks the banker of the afternoon.
Salford City 2-115/2 (bet365)Salford are strong favourites at home, where they have won four of five, but Crawley do carry a goal threat of their own, having found the net in most of their recent games despite their lowly position. The visitors have scored in four of their last five and their past meetings with Salford have produced goals, including a 4-3 at Moor Lane last season. A home win in which Crawley get on the board fits both the leaders’ tight home scoring and the Reds’ habit of chipping in at the wrong end, and 15/2 about a 2-1 is a fair each-way call.

How Salford City go into the game

Salford go into the weekend top of the table on 19 points, having won six of their ten games including four of their last five. Their last outing was a 3-3 draw at Rotherham that briefly interrupted the winning run.

At Moor Lane they have been excellent, winning four of five and conceding just twice, so the leaders arrive with every reason to expect three points against the bottom side.

How Crawley Town go into the game

Crawley sit bottom on five points, with a single win from eight games and 15 goals conceded. Their last outing was a 2-2 home draw with Chesterfield that at least showed some fight going forward.

The Reds have been slightly better on the road than at home, with one win and a draw from four away games, but they sit bottom of the table and have kept no clean sheets all season.

Salford City vs Crawley Town score prediction

The leaders have far too much for the bottom side and should win comfortably enough, though Crawley’s habit of chipping in a goal suggests Salford may have to come through a slightly open afternoon. Score prediction: Salford City 2-1 Crawley Town.
