Salford City – Accrington ST

Salford City will host Accrington Stanley in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower reaches of the table. The home side sit 15th with seven points from six games, having scored seven and conceded nine, while the visitors languish in 21st place on five points, their goal tally at ten for and thirteen against. Both teams have already endured three defeats this season, and a win for either could be decisive in the battle to avoid the drop. The fixture also offers Salford a chance to widen the gap on the relegation‑threatened clubs, whereas Accrington will be desperate to close the five‑point deficit to safety.
