Salford's worries about relegation have eased since Karl Robinson took over as their new manager in January. In his first four games, he has been unbeaten and has earned eight points. In his first game, Salford drew 2-2 against Forest Green Rovers, a team also in danger of relegation. Since then, Salford has played three away games and gathered seven points from matches against Crawley Town, Bradford City, and Crewe Alexandra. Their comeback win against Crewe, where they were trailing 2-1 at half-time, was particularly impressive. Matt Smith scored a hat-trick, including a winning goal in the final minutes. With their second win under Robinson, Salford now sits 10 points above the relegation zone. This gives them the opportunity to start looking ahead and aiming for promotion next season, following their playoff semi-final loss in the previous season. Salford's upcoming match against promotion contenders, Wrexham, on Saturday will be a good test to measure their progress under Robinson thus far.

Salford City Predicted Lineup

Cairns; John, Vassell, Tilt, Garbutt; Watson, Watt, Luamba; Bolton, Smith, McAleny

Wrexham form

In spite of their loss to Newport in their previous league match and being occupied with their FA Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers last weekend, Wrexham has managed to hold on to their second position in the League Two standings. The team faced a challenging situation during their match against Newport as they were reduced to 10 men after William Boyle's dismissal in the 18th minute. Newport took advantage of their numerical superiority and scored through Seb Palmer-Houlden after 16 minutes. Newport dominated the game and comfortably maintained their 1-0 lead. In their FA Cup match against Blackburn, Wrexham initially took the lead with an impressive goal from Andy Cannon, but Blackburn fought back and secured a 4-1 victory with goals from Sammie Szmodics, Sam Gallagher, and Sondre Tronstad. Now, Wrexham can focus solely on achieving back-to-back promotions, as they had previously secured promotion through the National League playoffs last season. Despite playing fewer games than their competitors, the team and manager Phil Parkinson are confident in their ability to complete the task, even though they anticipate a tough match against a resurgent team in their upcoming fixture.

Wrexham Predicted Lineup

Okonkwo; Cleworth, Tozer, O'Connell; Mendy, Cannon, Evans, Lee, McClean; Palmer, Mullin
