With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Salford City fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Southend United.
It's no vacation for neither Salford nor Southend United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Salford City form and stats
Three League Two home games done for Salford City, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at The Peninsula Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Salford.
Salford City are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Port Vale. In the match before that, Salford hosted Tranmere Rovers and drew the game 2-2.
Vaclav Hladky had a busy but productive day in the Port Vale match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Ian Henderson for missing a penalty kick versus Port Vale in the 38th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Crawley Town are coming to town in four days.
Salford has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Salford have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Southend United form and stats
Still no away game victory in the League Two for Southend United with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Southend's previous game was their home loss versus Cheltenham Town (0-2). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Exeter City.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Tranmere Rovers.
Southend United have the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
