After a nice winner on Tuesday, Paul Higham is back among the FA Cup replays where Posh can take advantage of Salford's slump...

  • Salford have failed to score in their last four games

  • Clarke-Harris already has 12 goals this season

  • Hosts had 2+ cards in their last two home games


Salford v Peterborough
Wednesday 16 November
Kick-off 19:45 GMT

Salford host Peterborough in an FA Cup replay that surely has to be better than their 0-0 draw in the original tie.

A lack of goals has been a theme for Salford recently, as they've failed to score in their last four games and in five of their last six.

Neil Wood's men have unsurprisingly won just one of those six games and lost three, which isn't the kind of form they'd want hosting visitors from the league above.

Posh have now had successive frustrating results, as they followed the 0-0 against Salford with a dramatic late 3-2 defeat at Exeter at the weekend.

Three wins previous to the last two still sees Grant McCann's side in fourth in the table, and big favourites to see-off League Two Salford at the second attempt.

Both sides have plenty of injuries to deal with, so you've got to fancy Peterborough with a deeper squad and also having their top attackers such as Jonson Clarke-Harris available.

Clarke-Harris has got 12 league goals this season, and although he only came on as a sub in the first tie, McCann could well start him this time and hope he can stick at least one away early.

Even if he's on the bench, Clarke-Harris will come on if Posh need a goal, and chances are he'll get it as the class act of the game.

Another decent price here is for Salford to get over 1.5 cards in the game at 6/5, which is something they've had in the last two homes games as things haven't been going their way.

Against tough opposition again and likely to lose out they will very possibly get at least a couple of cards to complete our Bet Builder treble.
