Over 2.5 goals at Salford vs Port Vale 19/20 for Tuesday’s EFL Trophy matchup

Posted January 6th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: EFL Trophy

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 19/20 @ Bet 365

Two sides looking to book their spot in the quarter-final of this year’s EFL Trophy, Salford will host fellow League Two outfit Port Vale on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Salford appeared to have turned a corner last month, the Reds have since continued to show some worrying inconsistencies. In their 26 League Two matches this season, they have recorded eight wins, eight draws, and 10 defeats, scoring 32 and conceding 36 in return. With a points tally of 32, they currently sit 12th in England’s fourth-tier and nine points adrift of the play-offs. However, while Salford may have won all three of their EFL Trophy appearances this season, they have won just two of their last seven matches across all competitions and it should be noted that three of their last four contests have seen over 2.5 goals at full-time.

As for the visitors, while Port Vale may have come crashing out of the FA Cup away at Manchester City last time out, they have a growing reputation for some rugged performances. In their 25 League Two matches this season, they have recorded eight wins, 11 draws, and six defeats, scoring 32 and conceding 31 in return. With a points tally of 35, they sit 10th in England’s fourth-tier and three points clear of Tuesday’s hosts. As for their recent run of results, the guests are unbeaten in their last five matches against League Two opposition. It should also be noted that each of Port Vale’s last five EFL Trophy appearances have seen over 2.5 goals at full-time.
