Fleetwood Town

• The main selection won in 1 of Fleetwood's last 5 matches in all competitions (W1, D1, L3).

• Joe Powell is the danger man for Salford.
• The Salford striker has been the Ammies' best player in League Two this season, with 3 goals in 7 appearances.

• Aaron Loupalo-Bi is Fleetwood's most potent attacking player with 2 goals in 6 League Two games.

Betting Insights

• The hosts are favoured here at 1.75 ahead of Fleetwood (4.33) and the tie (3.75).
