Friday, 8 November 2024 05:55

Salisbury travel to North London on Saturday (9th November) to face Enfield Town in the Vanarama National League South, with both sides coming into the game looking to pick up points.

Salisbury come into the game with three straight defeats and a run of five without a win, the last one coming away at St Albans. Enfield lost their last four games and haven't won since defeating Weymouth in early October.

The home side have yet to draw this season after being promoted from the Isthmian League Premier Division, like Salisbury, via the playoffs.

Enfield hasn't had a league game since October 26th, when they fell to defeat against Chesham United, losing three goals to two at home.

The home side had come behind after trailing to a first-half Chesham penalty and led going into the final ten minutes before an equaliser in the 80th minute. The game ended with a red card for Sam Youngs and a second penalty for the visitors, which was despatched in the 89th minute to deny Enfield anything from the game.

Since then, Essex Senior League (Non-league step 5) side Athletic Newham knocked them out of the London Senior Cup. Although a much-changed starting lineup, many on the side were first-team squad members.

Salisbury come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat at home against Torquay United. Salisbury played well in the first half, and it took a penalty in the 85th minute to separate the two sides.

Prior to that, Salisbury suffered defeat away at Chelmsford City, with a goal in injury time separating the two sides.
