Salford vs Swindon prediction

Coached by Karl Robinson, Salford City sit just outside of the top three and the automatic promotion spots after 24 matches in League Two. The Ammies defeated Barrow by two goals to one on New Year’s Day, extending their unbeaten run of form to seven matches across all competitions.

With Ian Holloway at the helm, Swindon Town have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the EFL this season and the Robins are matching that with an impressive level of effectiveness, as they sit just off top spot, two points behind league leaders Bromley just after the half-way stage.

These two are very fun to watch and that is at both ends of the pitch so quite an entertaining third round tie does appear to be in store in Greater Manchester.

Salford vs Swindon tip: Over 2.5 goals
