Salford City Fc to win the English League Two has shortened from 9/4 to 6/4 with Skybet, with three of five bookmakers cutting their odds. Read on.
The odds on Salford City Fc to win the English League Two have been slashed from 9/4 to 6/4 with Skybet, and after the week Salford have just had, you can see why the bookies are getting nervous.
Salford City won 2-1 away at Bristol Rovers, with the goals coming from Brendan Wiredu and Daniel Udoh.
The move is broad rather than a one-firm wobble, with three of five bookmakers cutting their odds on Salford City Fc to win the English League Two.
William Hill still offer 5/2, the best price available on Salford anywhere.
Barnet remain favourites at 9/4 with Skybet, even though Salford have been sitting top of the Sky Bet League Two log.
Salford City went to the Memorial Stadium and had the job done inside the opening quarter of an hour or so. Brendan Wiredu let fly from distance after six minutes, Daniel Udoh doubled the lead on 20 minutes, and although Bristol Rovers pulled one back, the away side saw it out for a 2-1 win on the road. They got on the front foot early and made it count in front of goal, which is exactly the kind of outing that gets a betting market talking.
That attacking punch is the real story behind the market reaction. Salford have been leading the Sky Bet League Two table under manager Peter Cklamovski, and a result built on Wiredu and Udoh doing the damage has convinced the layers that the leaders deserve more respect. The result is a price on Salford City Fc to win the English League Two that has come in to 6/4 with Skybet, and with three of five bookmakers cutting their odds, this looks like a genuine shift in opinion rather than a stray trader getting twitchy.
English League Two Win Market odds
For Salford City Fc to win the English League Two, William Hill lead the way with the best price of 5/2 on the leaders, while Skybet have cut Salford in to 6/4. Same outcome, very different return, so it pays to shop around before settling on a bookmaker.

Who is favourite to win the English League Two?
Barnet are the favourites at a best price of 9/4 with Skybet, with Salford City Fc second-shortest at 5/2 with William Hill. It is a slightly odd look with Salford on top of the log, but Barnet have earned their place at the head of the betting. Their manager collected the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month award for August after an unbeaten opening month, and they also picked up an early-season win over Salford. Our view, though, is that the market is now moving towards the side scoring early and often.
Barnet – 9/4 with Skybet (matched by Betfair Sportsbook). Unbeaten through August and already holders of a win over Salford this term.
Salford City Fc – 5/2 with William Hill. The leaders, with an attack that keeps striking early, and the selection the money is following.
York City – 9/1 with William Hill. A clear gap back to third in the betting, which tells you how the layers see the top two.
Chesterfield – 12/1 with Betfred (also Betfair Sportsbook, Bet Victor and Skybet). Priced identically across the board, firmly in outsider territory for now.
Latest bookmaker offer
Can Salford City Fc win the English League Two?
The next test comes quickly, with a trip to Walsall followed by Exeter at home before October is out. Keep doing what they did at the Memorial Stadium, getting Wiredu and Udoh into the game early and putting opponents under pressure from the first whistle, and there is every reason the odds on Salford City Fc could keep heading the same way. Barnet are still the side to catch in the betting, and nothing here is a given in a division this messy. For us, though, the leaders' attack is the strongest asset in the race, and William Hill's 5/2 is a fair reflection of where Salford sit in this market right now.
