Cheltenham
Salford City will look to bounce back from the EFL Trophy loss to Wrexham when they take on Cheltenham Town in the League Two round 6. The Lions are after their second win of the season and they are surely capable of matching the Robins in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be talented forward Francis Okoronkwo, who scored the winner against the Dons.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat Harrogate in front of home fans, but given their poor away record at the start of the season, home win should be considered. In their last meeting at Peninsula Stadium the two sides played out a goalless draw, but we are tempted to put our money on the hosts this time out. Speaking of the visiting team, both Ryan Bowman and Ethon Archer are pushing for a start.
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.
