"Starting with the hosts, while Salford might have come under even more scrutiny last season as they narrowly missed out on a play-off ticket, the Ammies have embarked on a remarkable League Two romp this time around. Last seen over the weekend clinching a 1-0 victory against Bristol Rovers, Karl Robinson's side are riding a major wave of momentum and they have skyrocketed their way into the automatic promotion spots."
"As for the visitors, although Chesterfield might have enjoyed their own festive flurry, Paul Cook's men have come crashing back down to earth over the past month. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at relegation scrappers Newport, the Derbyshire-based outfit have come tumbling out of the play-off places. Signing off 2025 with a 1-0 defeat at home against Cambridge, Tuesday's guests have failed to win any of their previous five consecutive League Two appearances."
Salford City are on a 10-match unbeaten run and have won their last four games across all competitions by an aggregate 9-5, including a 1-0 victory over Bristol Rovers and a 3-2 FA Cup win at Swindon. Karl Robinson's side sit in the automatic promotion places and are aiming for a maiden League One promotion in 2026. Chesterfield have lost form under Paul Cook, dropping out of the play-off positions after recent defeats including 2-1 at Newport and 1-0 at Cambridge. Chesterfield have failed to win any of their last five League Two games and have managed only one away win in seven since mid-November.
