Salford City – Crawley Town

Salford City will host Crawley Town 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 Crawley languish in 23rd place on four points, their record 6‑11. Both teams are desperate for points, and the narrow gap in goal difference could prove decisive should the match end level. A win for Salford would lift them clear of the relegation zone, whereas Crawley will be looking to close the gap to safety with a much‑needed victory. The fixture also offers an opportunity for each side to improve their head‑to‑head record this season.
