In the context of the 39th round of the English Second League, Salford City will face Morecambe at Moor Lane. Here's the match forecast from the experts at Dailysports.
Salford City
Under Neil Wood's management, the team strives to maintain its status in the division this season. However, recent results suggest that the situation is escalating with each passing match. Salford City, despite scoring first, suffered a 1-3 defeat in an away match against Milton Keynes Dons. Subsequently, they settled for a draw against Stockport at home, leading 2-0 initially but ultimately relinquishing two points. This draw extended Salford City's winless streak to five matches. After 38 games, Neil Wood's team currently sits in 20th place in the league table with 41 points.
Morecambe
The Shrimps feel much more confident than their upcoming opponents. Under Geda Brennan's guidance, the team has firmly established itself in the middle of the league table, holding a solid 22-point lead over the relegation zone. If the Seaside team had been a bit more successful, playoff aspirations might have been entertained. However, Morecambe's recent results indicate that ascending further remains a challenge. In their last two matches, the Red and White Army first succumbed to Wrexham, a top-three representative, at home (1-3), and then fell to Newport, their table neighbor, away (3-5). Overall, in their last seven matches in the Second League, Geda Brennan's team has recorded two wins, three losses, and two draws.
