Carlisle United are 23/10 to reward their sell-out travelling support with victory at Salford City today.
Those are the best odds offered for a win for Paul Simpson’s side in front of 1,366 Blues fans at the Peninsula Stadium.
Unibet and BetUk offer that price, with shorter odds of 9/4 (Bet365) and 19/10 (William Hill) among the others available.
Carlisle are seeking a first win at Salford’s ground at the third attempt, having drawn one and lost one on previous visits.
In the ninth-v-eighth League Two clash, Neil Wood’s Class of 92-backed Salford are 11/8 for victory with Betfair and 6/5 with SkyBet.
That is despite their failure to win at home since August.
The draw is 5/2.
Both sides have scored in all the clubs’ previous five meetings, and the prospect of that happening again has odds of 10/11.
Carlisle’s top scorer Kristian Dennis is the 6/1 favourite to open the scoring this afternoon.
For Salford, the trio of Matt Smith, Marcus Dackers and Callum Hendry are all 13/2 to end the club's five-game scoreless run with the first goal today.
It was big striker Smith who headed the winner the last time the clubs met, and he is 13/2 to get the game’s last goal again this time.
Other Carlisle first-scorer odds, meanwhile, include Ryan Edmondson at 15/2, Jack Stretton at 9/1, Jordan Gibson at 11/1, Taylor Charters at 22/1, Jon Mellish at 25/1 and Jack Armer at 40/1.
Salford have two ex-Blues players in their ranks, with Elliot Watt 25/1 to get the first goal and Ash Eastham 40/1.
Ex-Blues defensive trialist Richard Nartey, who was briefly with the club in pre-season, is also with the hosts, and is priced 50/1 for the opener.
Carlisle are 8/1 for a 1-0 win and 11/1 for a 2-1 triumph.
The same scores in the hosts’ favour are 13/2 and 17/2.
A 1-1 draw, meanwhile, is 11/2 and a second consecutive 0-0 stalemate for the Blues is 33/4.
