York – Salford City

Match analysis

York host Salford City in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting third with 11 points from three wins, two draws and a single loss, the home side have already out‑scored opponents 13‑8 and will be keen to extend that margin. Salford, languishing in 15th place with seven points after two victories, one draw and three defeats, have struggled offensively, netting just seven while conceding nine. The encounter could see York look to cement a top‑three finish, while Salford will need a turnaround to climb out of the relegation‑watch zone.
