Salford City will face Swindon Town on Saturday at the Peninsula Stadium, knowing three points may put themselves top of table.

The Ammies will hope to replicate their strong start to the season against their biggest league test yet.

Salford won their last fixture against Shrewsbury Town 3-1. Forward Daniel Udoh bagged a brace against his former club in a convincing win for the Ammies. Midfielder Ben Woodburn scored off the bench in added time to seal the win for Salford.

Udoh’s impressive performance landed him a spot in the Sky Bet League Two team of the week. The striker has two goals and two assists in two appearances for the Ammies and will hope to provide more in this weekend’s contest.

The two sides have faced in previous seasons with Salford unbeaten in the last 4 league occasions.

Swindon come into this game off the back of four league wins and a win will keep them in the automatic promotion spots.

Swindon striker Aaron Drinan scored a brace last weekend and made himself the league two’s leading goal scorer.

Ammies midfielder, Matt Butcher praised the team’s performance last week: “I think it’s a positive win, one of those wins that feel better than we could have made it.

“Good teams make the best of playing well and not playing well. Coming out with three points was massive.

“We dealt with the pressure really well after conceding, whereas a lot of teams fold under that pressure.”

After the clubs announcement of a brand new YouTube series, fans will also gain access to dressing room team talks and insider content around every matchday.

Each side will likely stay unchanged from previous weeks, in which looks to be a evenly sided contest. With both teams looking to continue their impressive league form.
