Our prediction for this League 2 match:
All eyes will be on the People’s Pension Stadium when Crawley Town and Salford City face each other in the League Two. Crawley Town quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Morecambe, with the team beating Tranmere thanks to Tom Nichols’ second-half goal. The Red Devils aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and we are positive that they will go for a win in the midweek clash.
The Lions, on the other hand, are only one point behind top seven, meaning that they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash as well. A lively contest is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that in the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Peninsula Stadium.

Founded during the Second World War (1940) as Salford Central, the League Two side play their home games at Moor Lane. The stadium, which was opened in 1978 and renovated in 2019, can hold up to 5,108 spectators. The Lions wear red jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while white and black are the dominant colours of their away kit.
Salford City secured promotion to the League 2 at the end of the 2018/19 as they defeated Flyde 3-0 in the National League play-offs final. The match was played at Wembley Stadium, with Touray, Pergianni, and Dieseruvwe scoring for the Lions.
In the 1977/78 season Salford City won their first Manchester Premier Cup trophy, with the team repeating the success the following year. Bury are seen as the club’s main rivals, but their rivalry with the likes of Oldham and Rochdale is pretty big as well.
