Salford City will bid to clinch a fifth consecutive victory when they welcome Port Vale to the Penisula Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors are also enjoying a fine run of form after avoiding defeat in their last six matches, helping them take up an automatic promotion place.

Only Bristol Rovers and Exeter City have collected more League Two points in 2022 than Salford City, who are unbeaten in their last 11 matches.
After beginning March with three consecutive draws, the Ammies move up the gears to win their last four matches, including a 2-0 win away to Hartlepool United on Saturday.
Both goals were scored within the opening half hour as Corrie Ndaba and Jason Lowe grabbed a goal apiece to give Salford all three points.
Having collected maximum points from their last four outings, Salford now find themselves in ninth position with just two points separating them from the playoff places.
Tuesday's contest represents Salford's game in hand over seventh-placed Tranmere Rovers and a win against Port Vale would move the Ammies into the top seven.

Like their opponents, Port Vale have hit their straps in recent weeks, winning five of their last six matches.
That positive run of results has helped them take up third position in League Two, but with three other teams level on points with the Valiants, an automatic promotion spot is far from secure.
Momentum does seem to be in Vale's favour though, as they followed up a 2-0 home win over Sutton United with a narrow 2-1 victory against Barrow at Holker Street on Saturday.
Tuesday's visitors had to come from behind to beat the Bluebirds after Josh Kay opened the scoring for the hosts, but Jamie Proctor equalised just before the hour mark, and with the points set to be shared, Aaron Martin found a late winner to send the travelling support home happy.
The Valiants will now turn their attention to a tough away contest against Salford, but with the visitors holding the fourth-best away record in League Two, they will be confident about picking up a positive result on Tuesday.

Salford are still without Josh Morris, Ash Eastham and Conor McAleny, who are all sidelined due to injury issues.
Ian Henderson made his first appearance since returning from injury on Saturday after featuring in the closing stages, and he is expected to be among the substitutes on Tuesday.
The veteran striker will be joined on the bench by Luke Burgess, who has been an unused substitute in Salford's last two matches after experiencing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
As for Port Vale, they are unable to call upon Jake Taylor, who cannot feature due to a thigh problem, while a hamstring injury is expected to keep Tom Pett out for the next three weeks.
Martin replaced Pett for Saturday's contest, and he is set to line up in a back three alongside Nathan Smith and Connor Hall.
The visitors could make one change to the side, with Ben Garrity expected to return after missing the win over Barrow through illness.
Salford City possible starting lineup:
King; Lowe, Vassell, Turnbull, Ndaba; Kelly, Love, Watson; Thomas-Asante, Hunter, Smith
Port Vale possible starting lineup:
Stone; Smith, Martin, Hall; Worrall, Charsley, Garrity, Walker, Benning; Wilson, Proctor
We say: Salford City 1-1 Port Vale
With both teams in sensational form, we think that on Tuesday they could cancel one another out, with neither side wanting to see their respective unbeaten runs come to an end.
