Match preview: Salford vs Rotherham

Salford City faces Rotherham United at Peninsula Stadium, underlining the importance of this fixture for the 1st EFL Cup round. In their last encounter on 5 September 2020, Salford triumphed over Rotherham in a penalty shootout.

Team analysis: Salford

Salford City arrives at this stage following a 1-2 victory. During their trip to Notts County, in a League Two match, the goals were scored by Kelly Nmai and Adebola Oluwo. The home team’s tactical approach is a 5-2-3 formation, with Kallum Cesay, Jay Bird, and Kelly Nmai being primarily responsible for threatening the opposition’s goal. Much of Salford’s offensive play is directed down the right flank, where Rosaire’s speed allows him to support attacking moves. Unfortunately, Ollie Turton and Josh Austterfield will miss the match due to injury.

Team analysis: Rotherham

Rotherham comes into this match after an uninspired 1-0 defeat at Stevenage Stadium in a League One fixture. Despite this setback, they are committed to their traditional 3-5-2 tactical setup. In attack, Sam Mombe and Jordan Hill are chief creators, while Joe Powell’s midfield presence is crucial for ball retention and dictating pace. Rotherham tends to focus their offensive efforts down the left flank, with Denzel Hall making significant contributions through overlaps. All players are available for selection in this fixture.
