Bitesize Prediction: Salford vs Stockport – 10/10/23

Competition: EFL Trophy

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be an enjoyable EFL Trophy battle on Tuesday night, Salford will welcome Stockport to Moor Lane.

Starting with the hosts, while Salford might have opened the 2023/24 campaign in the midst of a public struggle, Neil Wood’s men have certainly claimed a welcomed boost over the past fortnight. Putting in a rampant performance over the weekend as they claimed a 4-2 victory at home against Crewe, the Ammies will find the mood in their camp at a season-high. Still dreaming of the chance to mount a play-off charge this time around, Salford have won each of their previous three appearances across all competitions and they have really found a clinical edge in the final third. Signing off September with a 2-1 win against Newport, the midweek hosts have notched eight strikes on their three-match winning run. Likewise, recording back-to-back victories at Moor Lane for the first time since the middle of March, Salford have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. It is worth highlighting, Wood’s side have seen six of their opening eight contests on home soil finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Stockport might have eventually fallen short in their bid to clinch back-to-back promotions last season, Dave Chalinor’s men are in the midst of yet another extended purple patch. Putting in another professional performance over the weekend as they claimed a 1-0 victory at home against Doncaster, the Hatters are riding a major wave of momentum. With their remarkable flurry highlighted by a 5-0 romp against Wrexham back on September 23rd, Stockport have won each of their previous six straight appearances across all formats. With their sights firmly set on clinching a League One return this season, Tuesday’s guests will be looking to lay down another EFL Trophy marker at Moor Lane. Notching 15 strikes on their six-match winning romp, Chalinor’s side have also won each of their previous three away fixtures by an aggregate score of 7-3. It is worth highlighting, with Stockport seeing each of their first six contests on the road finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
