Bitesize Prediction: Salford City vs Cheltenham Town – 29/08/25

Competition: League Two

Market: Salford City win

Odds: 3/5 @ 1xBet

Looking to make an immediate return winning ways on Friday night, Salford will welcome Cheltenham to Moor Lane.

Starting with the hosts, watching their flurry come to an abrupt end last week as they fell to a close-fought 1-0 defeat away at Walsall, Salford will be desperate to claim an immediate response here. Suffering real heartbreak last season as they narrowly missed out on a play-off ticket, the Ammies are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Mustering nine points from their previous four League Two appearances, Karl Robinson’s side will be excited to make a return to Moor Lane on Friday night. Last seen in Manchester landing a 2-1 victory against local rivals Accrington, the former MK Dons boss will be smelling a golden opportunity this week. Pencilled in as a standout contender to secure consecutive League Two victories at Moor Lane for the first time this calendar year, it should also be highlighted that Salford have won back-to-back meetings against Cheltenham on home soil by an aggregate score of 4-1.

As for the visitors, watching their EFL Cup adventure come to a thumping end earlier in the week as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming at the hands of Cardiff, Cheltenham find themselves at the heart of what has been a public crisis. Last seen in League Two action putting in another toothless performance as they were hit with a 1-0 defeat at home against Barnet, Michael Flynn has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders. With their nightmare start to the 2025/26 campaign underlined by a 5-0 drumming against MK Dons on August 16th, the former Newport boss has remarkably seen his squad lose all of their first five League Two showdowns by an aggregate score of 11-1. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, the Robins open Friday’s trip to Manchester sat rock-bottom of the table. Given what has been a recent gulf in class, we are backing a home victory here.
