Salford to win the game
There is a huge gulf in class between the two clubs even if the opening few results have not entirely worked in favour of Salford. The home game against Sutton will be a target for Gary Bowyer to get three points and focus on making the way the table. Meanwhile, Sutton will be looking to make the most of their home matches and a defensive away performance could be on the cards.
Total goals over 2.5
Sutton have been exposed in the last two matches with the huge gulf in quality between the football league and the rest of the tiers. The five goals conceded in the last two matches will have hurt the confidence of the visitors. Salford are under pressure after failing to win the opening game and this might end of motivating them to a strong performance.
Salford to win by two goals
Salford were able to get a winning margin of more than two goals in two of the last three home matches. The wins over Mansfield Town and Leyton Orient towards the end of last season are a stark reminder of the quality possessed by Gary Bowyer’s team. Sutton may find it difficult to stand in way of the same.
