Our prediction for this League 2 match:
All eyes will be on Peninsula Stadium when Salford City and Crawley Town go head to head in a postponed League Two game. The Lions aim to build on back-to-back wins over Scunthorpe and Walsall, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Thomas-Asante Brandon, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while first-choice goalkeeper Tom King is still on international duty.
All Eastham, Morris, Burgess, McAleny, Shepard, and Henderson remain in the recovery room, and given Ibou Touray’s absence, home win should not be considered. The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive league win. Crawley Town have been showing signs of improvement of late, and we predict3 that they will take advantage of the home team’s absences. The likes of Nicholas Tsaroulla, Tony Craig, and Jack Powell should miss out with injuries for the away side.
