Salford take on the visitors Burnley in the 1/16-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 26th at Peninsula Stadium (Salford).
Salford are primarily interesting because of its owners. The Ammies, after entering Beckham's project, are 60 percent owned by the star Class of '92 of Manchester United (even earlier, their shares were acquired by Butt, Scholes, Giggs, and the Neville brothers), while the remaining 40 percent is held by the infamous Peter Lim. However, despite such support, the project, which initially rapidly rose from the lower leagues, has been stuck in League 2, the fourth tier of English football, since 2019. Last season, they finished seventh, but now they have to think about survival. However, they managed to eliminate such prestigious opponents as Preston and Leeds in the EFL Cup.

The Clarets left this level just a year ago, and Sean Dyche had been working hard to keep the team afloat for a long time. Vincent Kompany seemed to be doing well, and upon his return to England, he prematurely won the Championship with his new team. However, in the Premier League, the Belgian and his team only earned their first point on their fourth attempt, following defeats to Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham, managing a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest. They also fought against Manchester United but still conceded and consequently lost once again.
This kind of opponent is coming to Salford's arena for the first time. For the visitors, it is important to conserve their strength for the Premier League, where they need to improve somehow. However, positive emotions wouldn't hurt either. We recommend betting that the guests will win with a -1.0 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with -1.0 handicap.
