Salford City host MK Dons this weekend in a mid-table clash. The tie is expected to be tight, with both teams evenly matched.
Salford
The Ammies are currently 15th in the League Two table on 21 points from 18 matches, with the majority of those points collected on the road. Salford have the third worst home record in the league, winning two of their eight matches. Neil Wood's side have no issues in the final third, scoring 1.56 goals per game on average, yet they suffer an average of 1.61 goals per match.
Last weekend, Salford were defeated 3-1 by Gillingham on the road. The Ammies enjoyed the majority of the possession but struggled to convert their chances, missing four golden opportunities.
MK Dons
The Dons' performances have improved massively since Mike Williamson joined in October and they have picked up seven points from four games with the new man in charge. However, after 17 matches they sit in 13th on 23 points. MK Dons have conceded 1.41 goals per game on average this campaign, scoring 1.53.
Last time out in League Two, they were unlucky to not beat Newport on the road, with the home side holding the Dons to a 0-0 draw. The visitors had more possession, shots on target and chances, but they were still vulnerable themselves.
Verdict?
Both teams will view this match as a game that can be won. The two clubs should have opportunities to score, but they have not been clinical as of late. Either side could steal it but a draw is likely.
The final prediction is Salford 1-1 MK Dons.
