Salford City and Exeter City have met many times in this league, and Exeter are the side that has usually come away with the result more often, even though many of those games ended narrowly or goalless. This time, however, Salford City have risen to 1st in the table and are playing with a confidence different from previous matches. Salford City are on a 4-match winning run and are unbeaten in 5, with their last match a 4-2 win, the picture of a team that scores in a variety of ways and dares to open up. Exeter City are also unbeaten in 5, but in a different way, winning their last 2 matches by scores of 2-0 and 2-1, with a stubborn defence that rarely concedes easily. If Salford City score first from their free-flowing attack, Exeter City will have to open up and trade blows, which is the moment the hosts are best at and where they could pull away. But if Exeter City defend as tightly as in recent matches, the game could drag on and end narrowly.
