Salford’s trip to the Etihad in this competition last season saw them give it a good go, firing off 10 efforts at goal, and so it makes sense to target one of their attacking players. Kelly N’Mai is averaging two shots per 90 in league action for the visitors and has only failed to land this bet in one of his 17 starts. The winger is one of the Ammies' best attacking outlets, and cutting in from the left onto his stronger right foot means he’s always likely to pull the trigger.
Karl Robinson’s men can take further encouragement from the fact that this City side look far less solid than last season and have given up 7.79 shots at home across all competitions. The hosts may have racked up a 10-1 scoreline in the last round against League One Exeter, but still conceded seven shots despite the Grecians having just 18% possession, and so all signs point towards Salford and N’Mai getting opportunities to shoot.
