Brian Dutton’s side welcome Slough Town to the Ray Mac for their first home game in the Vanarama National League South.
The Whites come into the game after drawing their first game of the season 2-2 away at Hemel Hempstead. Salisbury led at halftime thanks to a double from new signing Craig Fasanmade.
The second half was more challenging, and their opponents fought back through second-half goals from Riccardo German and Brandon Barzey. Salisbury looked to get back into the lead, but they were dealt a blow when goalkeeper Ryan Gosney was shown a straight red for a challenge when he was the last man.
Josh Hedges came close when he hit a speculative effort from 25 yards, but Craig King in the Hemel goal was equal to it.
Their opponents, Slough Town, came from behind to claim all three points on the opening day at home to Chelmsford City. Chelmsford had taken the early lead, scoring directly from a corner in the 7th minute.
It took until the second half for Slough to gain parity, and Slavi Spasov was at the double, giving all three points to the home side.
Slough will be looking to improve on their finishing position of 10th last season, just five points outside of the play-off spots and will be a real test for Salisbury.

A short reminder that car parking is now £2 and programmes will be £3.
The club issued a statement on car parking, Business manager Jim Ayers said, “As many supporters will know, there were occasions last season when the car park was full. This resulted in people being turned away, including, in some cases, individuals who had purchased a car park season ticket.
“For the new season, the car park is likely to be as busy, if not busier. To give car park season ticket holders the best possible chance of getting into the car park, a place will be guaranteed up to 2 p.m. on Saturday games. It is not expected that this problem will exist on Tuesday evening games, but we will keep this under review.
“We had previously mentioned the possibility of opening a second car park. That discussion is ongoing, and we now need to work out the best possible way of implementing this in the near future.”
