Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Peninsula Stadium will be the center of attention when Salford City and Crawley Town square off against each other in the League Two round 2. The Lions have been scoring goals for fun at the start of the season, with the team beating Forest Green 2-0 in the league, while eliminating Preston (2-2) on penalties in the EFL Cup round 1. Since Salford are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we predict that they will find the net in Saturday’s clash. Scotland attacker Connor McLennan is pushing for a start after scoring a brace in the EFL Cup triumph, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, managed to find the net in each of their previous two games in all competitions and, taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Talented forward Ronan Darcy is back to Crawley Town’s starting XI after he was rested in the EFL Cup defeat to Exeter.
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.
