The research
ProRovers are priced 2.34 for this home game, but nothing in the evidence backs that: they're ninth and on L L L W L, one win in five, while Salford sit top of the table on W D W W L. Evans says Rovers are missing more key players than any other side in League Two (bristolrovers.co.uk, 16 Oct), and Tommy Leigh was sent off against Barnet on 10 October (bristolrovers.co.uk) with his status for this game unconfirmed.
“Salford's form and Rovers' admitted absences make the home favourite the trap, not the find.”
