Saturday’s football betting highlights two promotion contenders in England’s EFL League Two as they host struggling opponents. Table leaders Salford City and fourth-placed Crewe Alexandra both enter their respective fixtures with strong home records.
Salford Host Northampton
Salford City sit five points clear at the summit of the division and boast an eight-match winning streak in the league, despite a recent FA Cup first-round exit at fifth-tier Carlisle United. Having claimed six victories from seven home matches in the league this term, Salford are favored to overcome 21st-placed Northampton Town. Northampton enter the fixture following a 4-0 defeat against York City.
Crewe Welcome Newport
Crewe Alexandra hold ample confidence ahead of their home fixture against 14th-placed Newport County. Crewe remain undefeated across nine home fixtures in all competitions this season, recently eliminating Wimbledon from the cup at Gresty Road. Newport arrive on the back of home victories against Chesterfield and Walsall, yet they are still searching for their first away win across eight matches in all competitions.
Bet365 lists odds of 11/20 for a Salford home win and 11/10 for a Crewe victory, generating combined odds slightly better than 9/4.
