Salford City return to the Peninsula Stadium to face a resurgent Crawley Town, unbeaten in their last four matches.
This League Two fixture promises to be a cracking encounter, offering the home side a chance to build momentum while allowing 19th-placed Crawley to prove they can defy the odds away from home.
Salford will also be eager to bounce back from a second successive 2-0 defeat against Bromley. Karl Robinson’s side come into the game sitting mid-table, though they’re actually just one point off the play-off spots.
Salford have picked up two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches. Despite their inconsistent form, The Ammies have shown real flashes of quality throughout the season.
Their home form has been one of their biggest strengths; the Peninsula Stadium often brings out a more confident, expressive version of the team. They tend to score at home and usually grow into games as the minutes tick by.
Crawley Town, meanwhile, have been unpredictable, sometimes chaotic, sometimes brilliant, and occasionally both within the same match. Their defensive fragility, especially away from home, has cost them points and managing that instability will be crucial if they want to take something from this game.
Previous meetings between the two sides have been closely contested, though Salford sit slightly behind in their head-to-head record.
Against Crawley, Salford have won twice, drawn four times, and lost four. Most of their encounters have been tense, competitive, and often filled with goals, making this rivalry really exciting. With both teams bringing energetic, attacking styles this season, Saturday promises another open and entertaining contest.
Salford City welcome Crawley Town to the Peninsula Stadium on Saturday, 3pm kick-off.
