Salford City vs Grimsby Town Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of Grimsby’s last nine matches
• The Mariners have netted in 16 of their last 17 outings
• Salford are undefeated in their last seven on their own patch

Mariners need another positive start

Grimsby could not have made a stronger start to the League Two playoffs after scoring in the first 30 seconds of their first leg against Salford City, but they have their work cut out after the Ammies recovered to win 2-1 at Blundell Park.

Friday’s return also looks set to be an entertaining encounter and with the Mariners desperate to get back in the tie, there could be a few goals.

The visitors have scored in all but one of their last 17 matches and head to Moor Lane having won three of their last four away games, which will encourage them to think they can get back into the tie.

Ammies could edge entertaining clash

Salford, meanwhile, have the potential to kick on themselves and a seven-match unbeaten home run has come at just the right time.

Wembley beckons and they have lost just one of their last eight games, so while the visitors have notched in ten of their last 12 games which makes over 2.5 goals the best bet, those looking for a correct-score option are pointed to a 2-1 home win as Salford’s record on their own patch has to be respected.
