Fleetwood Town – Salford City

Fleetwood Town host Salford City in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower half of the table. The hosts sit seventh with 10 points from two wins and four draws, boasting a modest +3 goal difference after scoring seven and conceding four. Salford, currently 15th, have gathered seven points from two victories, a draw and three defeats, and sit on a -2 goal difference, having netted seven while letting in nine. The two sides have already met earlier in the season, with each side taking a point when their encounter ended in a stalemate. Both teams will be eager to improve their positions, as a win could see Fleetwood push into the top six while Salford looks to climb out of the relegation‑watch zone.
