Prediction: 2-0
Newport County
Out-of-sorts Salford City will try to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they face Newport County in the League Two round 29. The Lions do not seem to be at the top of their game, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Exiles in front of home fans. Forward Kylian Kouassi serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run in the League Two and given their difficulties at the back, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Earlier this season, Newport County defeated Salford City 3-1 in South Wales, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. A man to watch in the away team will be Kyle Hudlin, who found the net in a 2-1 loss to Swindon Town.
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.
