Match Preview
Reece Staunton scored a spectacular volley less than a minute into the first leg last Sunday, but first-half goals from Kallum Cesay and Adebola Olowu set Salford up for a 2-1 away win.
The Ammies return home, where they have the third-best record in League Two this season. Karl Robinson's men have won six and drawn one of their last seven at the Peninsula Stadium.
Grimsby will take some inspiration from their recent away record. The Mariners have taken seven points from the last nine available on their travels, and will need a win to keep the tie alive on Friday.
