Salford City vs Maidenhead United Predictions

There may not be much time left on the clock for this season but there are still plenty of issues to be decided, and that is a fact which is certainly true in the National League. This weeks live offering from the top division of non-league football on BT Sport is a key clash at the top of the league as Salford look to cement their place leading the pack for another round as they welcome a Maidenhead side who will feel like they have already done enough to secure their survival.

Although they will have been highly fancied, the more conservative punter out there might not have fancied Salford City to win promotion this time around. The club is well backed financially thanks to the ‘Class of 92’ but following their promotion from National League North and given the fact that they have only made the switch from part time to full time in the last few seasons, you could have been forgiven for believing there may have been an adjustment period. However, the Ammies have been excellent in recent weeks and will be fully confident in their ability to turn this good form into a title win, and win with it a place in the Football League.

Making the trip to Moor Lane is a Maidenhead United side who will feel it is mission accomplished for their season as they have surely put enough points on the board to ensure they will still be playing National League football next year. The visitors have also been in decent shape and three wins in their last six matches has resulted in them earning an 11 point advantage over the bottom four.

The form of the hosts is simply too hard to ignore and given that they also have plenty left to do if they are to secure the National League title, we simply cannot see complacency being an issue here. The visitors have completed their mission and with little left to play for, we cannot see them having the same sort of hunger left in the belly to fight until their last breath. With this in mind, we think that backing the hosts to claim a vital three points is the only way to go.
