Football : England: League Two - Play-Off
Venue: Blundell Park
Sunday 10th May 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Three wins in their final four games of the season saw Grimsby Town sneak into the last of the play-off places in League Two and two points ahead of 8th placed Barnet as David Artell’s side captured vital victories against the likes of Swindon Town, Cambridge United and Gillingham respectively.
A nervy 1-1 draw away from home at relegation-haunted Tranmere Rovers on the final day of the season proved to be enough for Grimsby Town to claim a top seven finish, while the bigger picture will also give The Mariners plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming 1st leg.
The Mariners slipped to just two defeats in their last 10 games of the season whilst the hosts also collected no fewer than seven wins in the process as well as finishing the season with a solid home record of 12-5-6 41/22.
Salford City suffered the agony of missing out on an automatic promotion spot by just a single point behind 3rd place finishers, Cambridge United, which came down to being held to a 0-0 draw away from home at relegation candidates Crawley Town on the final day of the season.
Salford also ended the season with a four-match unbeaten run which consisted of two wins along with two draws but the stalemates with Gillingham and Crawley Town will have been viewed as four points dropped rather than two points gained by manager Karl Robinson and his side.
The visitors have slipped to just two losses in their last 12 matches though in League Two which will give The Ammies a boost ahead of this tricky looking trip to Blundell Park on Sunday afternoon, but an overall away record of 11-2-10 27/27 suggests Salford may face a tough day out here.
The Betting Verdict
Grimsby Town registered a convincing 3-1 win over Salford City in the previous meeting at Blundell Park.
The Pick :
Grimsby Town 2-1 Salford City
