Salt City vs New Mexico U23 tips and predictions

Prices are fair ahead of tight USL League Two encounter

When Salt City host New Mexico U23 it should be a fairly even contest and there are arguments to be made for all outcomes being possible. The pick is to get with the home team but be prepared that this might look stupid by full-time.

You may not agree but Salt City might have reasons to be confident about adding to New Mexico U23's woes. The last 11 fixtures have not all gone well for the away squad; they've lost 5 of them. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't stand out as the record of a team that will fancy their chances.

Salt City have produced some brilliant stuff. Their recent 3 matches have seen them hitting the net an average of 2.7 times per game and that mentality has been consolidated at the back where they have conceded no more than once in 4 of their last 6 games.

New Mexico U23 have sometimes lost their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 6 matches. Chances on goal are noticeable by their absence too. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've been goalless in 3 of their last 10 matches.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side gets off to the brighter start. The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in attack. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No is slightly more attractive on this occasion.
