The battle for the playoffs in League 2 is heating up and in midweek Grimsby Town face Salford City in a game with major implications for both teams. Both the Mariners and the Ammies are in the shakeup for a playoff spot and managers David Artell and Karl Robinson will be well aware of the importance of three points here. Here is our considered match prediction for the game.
The current L2 league table makes interesting reading for both teams. Grimsby Town lie in 11th spot in the table with 52 points from 33 games, but they are just three points outside the final playoff spot. That spot, seventh in the table, is occupied by visiting Salford, who have 55 points from their 33 games played. If Grimsby win the game, they would go above Salford on goal difference.
Grimsby's recent form is very good, with just one defeat in their last dozen league games. Recent form includes a 1-0 home win over Accrington Stanley, a 2-2 draw with Walsall, a 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Wolves, a 3-1 loss at Bristol Rovers and at the weelkend, an impressive 1-0 away win at Notts County.
Salford's recent performances are not so impressive. They had lost four in a row until the 1-0 win at the weekend away to Colchester with most recent defeats being 3-2 at Cheltenham and 2-1 at home to Shrewsbury Town.

Our Grimsby Town vs Salford City Prediction
Our prediction for the Grimsby Town vs. Salford City League Two match is: Grimsby wins.
There may be several places between these two teams in the table, but just three points separate them and a win for Grimsby here would put them above Salford in the table. The home side are unbeaten in six at home and come into this in very good form. Salford's recent form is poor with five defeats in seven and this is a very tough game. As such, backing Grimsby to land the win makes sense.
