Salisbury vs Horsham Prediction - 18th April 2026

Salisbury host Horsham in a National League South clash at Salisbury's home ground. With the season nearing its end, both teams are fighting for their respective positions in the table. Salisbury sits 20th with 49 points, while Horsham is 15th with 56 points. The key to this fixture lies in the stark contrast between Salisbury's home form and Horsham's away struggles. Salisbury's home performance is the standout metric here. In their last five home games, the Stags have secured a 60% win rate. They average 1.40 goals scored per game at home while conceding just 0.80 goals per game. This defensive solidity at home is a significant advantage. However, their overall recent form shows three consecutive losses, which might suggest vulnerability. Despite this, the venue-specific data points to strength when playing on their own turf. Horsham's away record is deeply concerning for the visitors. In their last five away games, they have a 0% win rate and have failed to score a single goal (0.00 goals per game). They also concede heavily on the road, averaging 2.00 goals conceded per game. This inability to score away is a critical weakness that Salisbury can exploit. The betting market reflects the home advantage. Salisbury is priced at 2.23 for a win. Given the 60% home win rate versus Horsham's 0% away win rate, the odds imply a probability of roughly 45%, which undervalues the home team's statistical edge. The goal expectancy data suggests a total of around 2.35 goals, which leans towards Under 2.5 Goals, but the primary value lies in the match outcome. Key Points: - Salisbury has a 60% win rate in their last 5 home games. - Horsham has a 0% win rate in their last 5 away games. - Horsham has scored 0 goals in their last 5 away fixtures. - Salisbury concedes 0.80 goals per game at home. - Horsham concedes 2.00 goals per game away. In summary, the venue statistics provide a strong signal for a home victory. Despite Salisbury's recent overall losses, their home defensive record and Horsham's complete away goal drought make the home win the most logical selection. The odds of 2.23 offer sufficient value given the statistical disparity. **Recommended Bet: Salisbury to Win**
