Salford City will seek to bounce back from their two defeats over Easter as they visit AFC Wimbledon.

The Ammies fell to consecutive 2-1 losses against Sutton United and Walsall and face a Dons team looking to remain in the play-off picture.

Johnnie Jackson’s side are winless in their last four matches and sit three points behind seventh-placed Crawley Town having played two games more than The Red Devils.

The Londoners travelled to Edgeley Park to face Stockport County on Monday night and were beaten late on thanks to a goal from former Salford man Odin Bailey.

With only four games of the season left, Salford will be looking to end what has been a subpar season on a brighter note.

Salford have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip down south, with Stevie Mallan, Liam Shephard and Ossama Ashley all sidelined for the foreseeable future.

It was a rather dull affair at Moor Lane earlier this season with a 0-0 draw in December, with Wimbledon very unlucky not to get a result.

Salford’s last trip to Plough Lane was their famous 3-2 victory in added time thanks to Callum Hendry’s brace, putting Neil Wood’s side on the path to the play-offs in April 2023.

The Dons have lost a lot of their firepower since the last time the two teams met after Ali Al-Hamadi’s sale to Championship table-toppers Ipswich Town in January.

Salford City visit AFC Wimbledon this Saturday, with kick-off at the Cherry Red Records Stadium at 3pm.
