Salford City vs Shrewsbury

Salford City at home have started their 2025 League Cup run with a 0-1 loss, scoring 0 and conceding 1 across their only match. Shrewsbury away have also started with a loss, but they scored 1 while conceding 3, suggesting they’ve been involved in more open games despite not getting results. In the head-to-head style probabilities from the stats, Salford City are slightly more likely to win than Shrewsbury, with home win at 45.7% versus away win at 27.6%, while a draw remains fairly plausible at 26.7%. The overall confidence is modest (43) and the risk is high, consistent with both teams having only one match of evidence. For goals, the data points toward a game that may clear 2.5 total goals, with over 2.5 goals at 50.2%. Both teams to score also looks more likely than not at 54.4%, which aligns with Shrewsbury conceding 3 in their only match and Salford conceding 1. So a home win is the lean, but it’s not strongly supported by a large sample, and the goal-related indicators suggest the match could be competitive and potentially end with both teams scoring.
