Match Preview

A rotated Grimsby side played out a 1-1 draw away from home against Tranmere in gameweek 46 as the Mariners sealed a seventh-place finish in spite of Barnet's fifth straight league win. David Artell's side are in red-hot form, having won five of their last seven League Two matches heading into the play-offs.

Salford City enter the play-offs looking to shake off some final-day heartbreak. The Ammies failed to beat 22nd-placed Crawley on the road, meaning they fell one point short of automatic promotion after third-placed Cambridge also drew. The visitors are unbeaten in four as they travel to Blundell Park, but face a confident opposition.
