Man City vs Salford City Odds

How both teams go into Man City vs Salford City

We’re only halfway through the season, but it looks like Man City’s hopes for success rest solely on the FA Cup. Man City are out of the Premier League title race, out of the EFL Cup and in danger of being eliminated from the Champions League. The Citizens have a good recent record in the FA Cup, reaching the semi-finals in each of the past five seasons. They’ve reached the final in each of the past two seasons, though had to settle for a runners-up finish in 2023-24.

Looking to add to Man City’s misery are League Two side Salford City. This is already Salford City’s best-ever run in the FA Cup, making the third round for the first ever time. They’re doing pretty well in League Two this season, currently third after 24 games in pushing for automatic promotion. But they’ll be more than happy to put that aside for one night to claim a big scalp.
