Head-to-Head
Salford City and Grimsby Town have each won one of the two previous League Two head-to-heads in 2025-2026 (no draws) .
Key Players
- Both have a player in form with Jaze Kabia netting 18 League Two goals in 46 appearances and four of his last five.
- Adebola Oluwo has scored two of the Ammies’ last six with Ryan Graydon (11 goals in 46 League Two games) providing their main attacking threat.
- Luke Garbutt has been a spark for Salford lately with three of the last six goals coming from his assists so he should trouble the defence on Friday.
Betting Insights
- Grimsby Town’s away record is strong (W10, D7, L6).
- Backing Salford to win at odds of 2.19 gives us plenty of value given that they are the home favorites with the psychological advantage of having won the first-leg away from home.
- Given the play-off setting and the fact that these two teams have been in goal-happy form, the odds of 1.88 about Over 2.5 goals look very generous.
Prediction
- Salford City have the advantage after edging Grimsby Town 2-1 away from home in the first leg just 24 hours ago.
- It’s a big occasion for Grimsby Town, who have made the EFL playoffs for the first time since 2005-06, but we think Salford will use their home advantage and first-leg win to see this to a place in the final.
