Salford City will be aiming to get back on course when they take on Chesterfield in League Two round two. As Salford do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 1-0 away win. The Lions suffered a 3-1 defeat to Barnet in their opener despite registering 14 goal attempts and enjoying 54% possession. Salford have been strong at home recently, losing only one of their last five matches at home and averaging 1.60 goals per game during that run. Woodburn and Grant are pushing for starting roles, while defender Michael Rose remains sidelined.
Chesterfield, meanwhile, are on a five-game winless run in all competitions, including friendlies, and have struggled to find the net. The Spireites have scored just 0.90 goals per game across their last 10 matches and failed to score in 40% of them. Bryden and Mandeville are pushing for starts, with no fresh injury concerns for the visitors.
Chesterfield have dominated this fixture historically, winning five of seven meetings and keeping four clean sheets in those games. Therefore, Away Win should be considered, alongside Chesterfield to Win to Nil and Under 2.5 goals (Only two of the seven previous H2H clashes produced more than two goals).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 12:30.
