Salford City, employing a 3-4-1-2 formation, displayed an aggressive attacking style that Colchester's 4-2-3-1 struggled to contain. The Ammies' high foul count (19) suggests a physical approach. This victory continues Salford's strong recent form, where they've won 3 of their last 5, scoring multiple goals in the victories. Their next match is away against Carlisle United, who have been on a good run of form recently at home, winning 4 of their last 5 home matches.

Colchester United, on the other hand, have been inconsistent. They were not able to capitalize on the higher ball possession in this game. They've won two, drawn two, and lost one of their last five.
