Salford take on the visitors Peterborough in the replay of 1/128-finals of English FA Cup. First match result: 2-2. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 14th at Peninsula Stadium (Salford).
Salford are unlikely to make a serious impact in the Championship. The Ammies can be considered the most well-known club in League 2, but solely due to the fact that it's a project funded by the eccentric Peter Lim, the owner of Valencia, and several representatives of Manchester United's legendary Class of '92, from Giggs to Beckham. However, their influence only extended as far as the current level. The team seems to be stuck in the fourth division, finishing seventh last season and currently hovering around the equator. Yes, they made some noise in the League Cup, defeating Preston and even Leeds, but then suffered a 0-4 home defeat to Burnley. In the FA Cup, they missed a chance to eliminate the opponent away by conceding in the very end.

Peterborough also have a connection to Manchester United. Since 2007, with some interruptions, they have been managed by Darren Ferguson, the son of Sir Alex. They've been trying to establish themselves in the Championship but haven't been very successful. After being relegated to League 1 in 2022, the Posh hoped to make a quick return, but they barely squeezed into the top six in the regular season, only to lose in the first round of the playoffs against Sheffield Wednesday. There are still chances to move up to the top of the division, but it's not going as planned. In the cup format, they've had a series of draws this season. They advanced in the League Cup on penalties against Swindon and Portsmouth but were eliminated by Mansfield. On November 4, they secured a draw at home with a 2-2 scoreline in the 93rd minute.
Incredibly, this same pair played exactly a year ago in November. At that time, Salford had already earned a draw away with a 0-0 result but then conceded 3 unanswered goals at home. In any case, Sir Alex's son's team is stronger than the baby birds of the same project. Let's bet on an away victory.
Prediction for the match: Peterborough to win.
