It is the second leg of the League Two Playoff Semi-Final between Salford City and Grimsby Town on Friday night. The home town Ammies lead 2-1 from the first leg at the Mariners' Blundell Park and Karl Robinson will be pleased with that but will also know that the second leg could prove tough against a team that did the double over Salford in the league. Our prediction reflects this with us backing Grimsby to earn a narrow win in this match.
Salford finished third in the table to earn the home tie as the second leg in the playoffs, Grimsby finished seventh but there was only a points difference of three points between the teams, and Grimsby's goal difference of +24 was markedly better than Salford's +10. The first leg saw all three goals scored in the first half as Salford came from an early goal down to win 2-1.
That first leg was both teams most recent fixture but prior to that Salford had drawn two and won two of their last four, including two 0-0 draws, at home to Gillingham and away to Crawley Yown and two victories, 2-1 at Oldham and 2-0 at home to Bromley.
Grimsby's prior four results up to the first leg also saw them unbeaten, winning 4-1 at Gillingham and then 2-1 at Cambridge and then 4-0 at home to Swindon. They then drew 1-1 away to Tranmere on the final day.

Our Salford City vs Grimsby Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Salford City vs. Grimsby Town match is: Grimsby Town wins.
Salford may lead 2-1 from the away leg on Humberside, but history shows that Grimsby have been very strong, especially when they play Salford on the road. The Mariners have won all the last three in Salford, that includes a league double over them this season. The Ammies hold the advantage but Grimsby have a decent away record, unbeaten in their last three on the road and as such, I can see them landing a narrow win here to take the tie into extra time.
