Notts County vs Salford City: League Two playoff final at Wembley

LONDON: Notts County vs Salford City meet this afternoon at Wembley Stadium in the League Two play-off final, with promotion to League One on the line.

Salford City reached the final after a thrilling 4–3 aggregate win over Grimsby Town in the semi-finals. Karl Robinson’s side also carry confidence from the regular season, having beaten Notts County twice, both by 2–1 margins, and finishing just one point above them in the table.

However, the play-off final is a different stage entirely, where past results often carry little weight. Notts County, led by Martin Paterson, will aim to overturn that record when it matters most.

A win for Salford City would secure their first-ever promotion to League One, setting up landmark fixtures next season against clubs such as Leicester City, Wigan Athletic, and Sheffield Wednesday.

Salford City XI

Young; Cooper, Austerfield, Butcher, Mnoga; Cesay, Oluwo, Udoh; Graydon, Garbutt, Longelo

Notts County XI

Belshaw; Ness, McDonald, Bedeau; Tsaroulla, Norburn, Robertson, Jones; Iorpenda, Luker; Jatta
