📋 Team News: Salford City
Salford City manager Karl Robinson has some current player fitness concerns. Josh Austerfield (Ankle injury) and Dan Chesters (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
💭 Prediction
Our thinking is that Carlisle United should get enough chances to find the back of the net against this Salford City team, but a single goal likely won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We therefore reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 1-2 win for Salford City at the end of this one. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
