Promotion to League One will be on the line when Notts County and Salford City meet in the League Two playoff final at Wembley Stadium. As Salford have been in a better form than Notts County, we predict a 1-0 away win. Notts County booked their place in the final thanks to a disciplined defensive performance against Chesterfield in the semifinals, but they could be without influential forward Jodi Jones, who is struggling with injury. The Magpies have been inconsistent in recent weeks, winning four of their last ten matches while averaging 1.0 goal scored and 1.3 conceded per game.
Salford City, meanwhile, arrive in stronger overall form after eliminating Grimsby in the semifinals. The Lions have collected 1.8 points per game across their last ten matches and boast an impressive defensive record, conceding only 0.7 goals per game during that spell. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. Head-to-head statistics heavily favour Salford, who have won six of the previous seven meetings between the sides. Interestingly, all seven H2H clashes produced over 1.5 goals, while five ended with over 2.5 goals.
Given Salford's superior recent form and dominant H2H record, Away Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (both teams have improved defensively during the playoffs).
This League 2 match will be played on Monday 25 May 2026 at 15:00.
