Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Swindon and Salford will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Ian Holloway or Karl Robinson has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to about a 74% probability.
