Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Bradford City, Notts County will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Salford City on Saturday afternoon. The Magpies did well to put an end to their six-game winless run, but they need to keep on winning if they are to secure a top-seven finish. Even though influential forward David McGoldrick remains in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Notts County looked sharp in front of goal against the Bantams.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The Lions, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Morecambe, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the Meadow Lane showdown. In the first half of the season Notts County defeated Salford City 2-0.
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.
