A place in the League Two playoff final will be on the line when Salford City host Grimsby in the return leg at the Peninsula Stadium. Salford carry a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first meeting and head into the clash in strong form, winning six of their last 10 matches while averaging 2.0 points per game. The Lions have been particularly impressive at home, recording four wins and one draw from their last five matches at the Peninsula Stadium. Defensively, Salford have also looked solid, conceding only 0.4 goals per game at home and keeping clean sheets in 60% of those fixtures.
Grimsby, however, remain very much alive in the tie after another productive attacking display. The Mariners have scored 2.4 goals per game across their last 10 outings and remain unbeaten in their last five away matches. Midfielder Darragh Burns is pushing for a start after making an impact from the bench in the first leg, and Grimsby’s attacking approach should make for another entertaining encounter.
Grimsby have scored in all of their last 10 matches and given Salford's attacking potential at home, Both Teams to Score seems like the best betting option for this playoffs clash. Additionally, Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals markets seem appealing).
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 15 May 2026 at 19:15.
