Prediction: 2-2
Wrexham
Salford City will be aiming to build on a 3-2 win over Crewe when they take on Wrexham in the League Two round 31. The Lions aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced forward Matt Smith, who scored a hat-trick against Crewe.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Newport County. Wrexham are eager to stay in the automatic promotion berth and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Phil Parkinson’s first Wrexham signing Liam McAlinden is no longer part of the team after leaving the club by mutual consent.
Highlighted Team (Salford):
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.
