Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Salford to win and both teams to score14/5Salford will fancy their chances at Moor Lane after winning their last home game 2-1 against Newport, and both defences here have looked vulnerable, which points towards goals at both ends. Port Vale have leaked freely on their travels, conceding three at Swindon and two at Oldham, so Salford should carve out openings in front of their own fans, while Port Vale have shown they can find the net, scoring in two of their four league games. With Salford chasing a home win and neither side keeping many clean sheets lately, a Salford victory with both teams on the scoresheet makes for an appealing combination.
Over 1.5 Salford goals and Macauley Langstaff to score anytime14/5Macaulay Langstaff has started all four of Salford’s League Two games and played every minute as the focal point of the attack, so the striker is well overdue a goal and lines up as a tempting anytime pick against a Port Vale defence that has already shipped plenty on the road. Salford also flashed their attacking teeth in their most recent home outing, scoring twice to see off Newport, which lends weight to the over 1.5 Salford team goals line back at Moor Lane. If the hosts reproduce that home threat and Langstaff gets on the end of the chances, both legs of this double are well within range.

How Salford go into the game

Salford were beaten 1-0 at Shrewsbury last time out, a narrow away defeat. Moor Lane is where their points must be won.

Well-organised and dangerous, Salford will fancy their chances at home. A response is the aim.

How Port Vale go into the game

Port Vale drew 0-0 with Crewe last time out, a hard-fought point. They travel to Salford in decent order.

Organised and hard to beat, Port Vale will look to frustrate the hosts. A point on the road would be welcome.
