Salford City face Newport County in their first midweek endeavour of the campaign as Peter Cklamovski’s men still await this season’s first set of league points.
It has been a less than fruitful start to the campaign for Salford City as the Ammies languish in the depths of the League Two standings, and an expectant home crowd will fill the AIG stadium in the hopes of a cathartic first win under Cklamovski’s reign.
Salford prepare for the visit of Southeast Wales outfit Newport County on Tuesday night, as they reflect on a 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury away from home last Saturday afternoon.
A drab and disappointing afternoon for the Ammies saw Centre back Will Boyle steal the show for the Salop with 15 minutes to play, with Salford unable to carve out an opening wide enough to take a share of the points at The croud Meadow.
The new faces around the Salford squad, including head coach Peter Cklamovski will be growing increasingly eager to get off the mark in their new shades of orange, with Salford being made to wait at least 4 matches for their first victory of the season. The Australian’s pledge upon his arrival to “get fans off their seats” with his style of play is still yet to find its footing.
However, another opportunity presents itself in the form of Newport, who finished all square with Tranmere Rovers last Saturday thanks to a last minute Shaquille Gwengwe finish, who nipped in at the back post to complete his brace and snatch a point for the Exiles.
Newport and Salford have a mixed history, with their acquaintance dating back to just 2019 upon the Ammies arrival in the Football League, with Salford having taken eight wins from 15 past meetings between the sides.
An evening fixture under the lights will provide a new setting for Salford this season, who look to get off the mark in midweek action on Tuesday night.
