Salford City vs Chesterfield is an early League Two kick-off at Moor Lane on Saturday at 12.30pm, with both sides looking to recover from opening-day defeats.
Salford and Chesterfield were both beaten in their first games and will be desperate for a response. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy leans towards the hosts, who have home advantage and were tipped by many for a promotion push this season.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Salford City to win and over 2.5 goals | 12/5 | Salford head into this off the back of a bruising 3-1 defeat at Barnet that exposed clear defensive frailties, but the attacking quality that saw them finish 4th in League Two last season, netting 61 goals, remains very much intact. Chesterfield also arrive off the back of a loss, beaten 1-0 at home by Fleetwood, and their own numbers last season – 71 goals scored but 56 conceded – point to a side that leaks almost as freely as it scores. With both sides needing a response and neither likely to sit back, Moor Lane looks set for an open, entertaining contest, with the extra quality of Salford’s rebuilt attack the difference. |
| Macauley Langstaff to score anytime, Lee Bonis and Liam Mandeville over 0.5 shots on target | 19/2 | Langstaff arrives with a reputation as one of non-league football’s most ruthless finishers, having once scored 41 goals in 41 games without a single penalty to help fire Notts County to promotion, before a move up to Millwall. In his first home outing at Moor Lane, he looks a class above at this level and should get chances against a Chesterfield defence low on confidence after their opener. At the other end, Bonis was League Two Player of the Month in December after four goals in five games, while Mandeville is a two-time Chesterfield Player of the Year prized for his technical range – both should get efforts away even if their side struggles to convert. |

How Salford City go into the game
Salford’s season began with a 3-1 defeat at Barnet, a chastening afternoon that exposed some defensive frailties. The response at Moor Lane needs to be immediate for a club with genuine promotion ambitions.
The quality is there in this squad, and home advantage should help. A first win of the season would settle any early nerves.
How Chesterfield go into the game
Chesterfield slipped to a 1-0 home defeat against Fleetwood on the opening day, unable to find a way through. They will need to be sharper in front of goal on their travels.
Well-drilled and organised, Chesterfield are rarely easy to beat, but back-to-back defeats would pile on early pressure. A point would represent a decent afternoon’s work.
