Salford have won their last two matches in all competitions after they followed a 1-0 win against Bradford City in the EFL Trophy with a 3-0 victory over Gillingham in their most recent outing, before Saturday’s meeting with Walsall was postponed.
The Ammies played out a goalless first half against Gillingham before Theo Vassell opened the scoring in the 54th minute, and further goals from Ryan Watson and Callum Hendry helped Salford end a four-game winless run in League Two.
They are currently two points adrift of the top seven, but they will put their playoff push on hold to focus on Tuesday’s EFL Trophy game. Salford began the competition with a win over Liverpool Under 21s, and they picked up bonus points with penalty-shootout victories over Accrington Stanley and Rochdale, ensuring that Neil Wood’s side topped their group.

Salford City vs Port Vale Team News
Salford will be without the services of Stevie Mallan and Liam Shephard, who are both long-term injury absentees. With a place in the quarter-finals at stake, Wood could be tempted to name an unchanged lineup for Tuesday’s contest.
Jason Lowe was an unused substitute for the win over Gillingham after returning from a spell on the sidelines, and he could be given minutes off the bench against Port Vale. As for the visitors, they are likely to still be without the services of Funso Ojo, although Ellis Harrison made his return from injury on Saturday to play nearly 70 minutes against Bristol Rovers.
After keeping consecutive clean sheets, Dan Jones is set to retain his place in a back three alongside Nathan Smith and Connor Hall.
