Salford vs Northampton – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Salford could not build on the recent win over Grimsby as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against Bradford away from home. Northampton picked up a rather impressive 1-0 win over Leyton Orient narrow the deficit to the top.

Sam Hoskins to score anytime

Sam Hoskins continues to the best player at Northampton by a significant margin. He has been able to pick up an impressive 15 league goals to emerge as the top scorer in the League Two 2022-23 season so far. Hoskins has registered two goals in the last three games for the visitors. Even though he did not score in the recent win over Leyton Orient, the 29-year-old came up with a strong performance nonetheless.

Total goals over 2.5

Salford have been defensively on the players over the last few weeks. As a result, four out of the last five games involving Neil Wood’s team has produced more than 2.5 goals. Even though Northampton have been quite steady over the last few weeks, they have actually been defensively mediocre throughout the campaign. Northampton have conceded more goals than Salford so far this season.

Both teams to score – yes

There have been goals at both ends of the pitch in four out of the last five matches for Salford, as the mid-table outfit have shown both the positives and negatives during this period. Northampton can be very strong at the back against the top teams but they have struggled defensively against teams outside the play-offs.
