MATCH PREVIEW: Salford City vs Newport County

3 March 2023

We'll be looking to continue our solid recent away form when we travel to Salford City tomorrow - here's everything you need to know ahead of the 3pm kick-off.

We are unbeaten in our last three away games, with a win at Barrow (1-0) followed up by a 1-1 draw at Walsall and another 1-0 win away to Hartlepool.

We'll need to deny history though, with County yet to beat Salford away from home, with Salford's limited time in the EFL leading to us only playing at the Peninsula Stadium twice ever. 

Salford meanwhile are in the play-off places in League Two, as they currently sit 7th, but their form is patchy with just one win from their last five league matches. That however was an impressive 5-2 thumping of Mansfield away from home.

Their recent home form leaves something to be desired though after a 2-1 defeat to Swindon coming after a 1-1 draw against Harrogate in their last two games at the Peninsula.

Key men for Salford include Conor McAleny who is the Ammies' top scorer with eight, while also registering two assists, while County fans will no doubt keep an eye on former Exile Liam Shephard. 

As of Friday morning, boss Graham Coughlan says there are no fresh injury concerns going into the weekend, with Declan Drysdale remaining out with a long-term problem, and last week Adam Lewis' loan was ended prematurely with a season-ending injury.

A win for County could see us rise to 16th in the table as we continue to set ourselves adrift of the League Two bottom two, of which we are currently 11 points clear.
