Prediction: 1-0
Salford
Newport County will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Crewe when they take on Salford City in the League Two round 9. The Exiles are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. Barring any fresh injury worries, boss Nelson Jardim is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Railwaymen.
Meanwhile, the Lions, head into the match following a goalless draw with Tranmere. As Salford City have been struggling up front recently, we are tempted to bet on Newport, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Salford have defeated Newport in each of their last six meetings in the League Two, meaning that the hosts are determined to put an end to their losing run. Both Mnoga and Watson are rated doubtful for the visiting team after the duo limped off with injuries in the last league match.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
