After losing three of their first four Football League games against Northampton Town (D1), Salford City won both meetings during the 2022-23 League Two season when they last met.
Northampton Town have failed to win any of their last 11 away Football League games against sides from Greater Manchester (D3 L8), since a 2-0 victory over Oldham in April 2022.
Salford are the first League Two side to amass 31+ points through their opening 14 matches of a campaign since both Leyton Orient and Stevenage in 2022-23 – all eight fourth tiers since the EFL rebrand of 2004-05 to achieve that feat have gone on to be promoted.
Northampton have scored a league-low four goals from open-play in League Two this season, though have scored five from set pieces. Only them and Shrewsbury have scored more from set pieces than open play in the competition.
