Prediction: 1-1
Grimsby
Sands Venue Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Scunthorpe United and Grimsby Town. The Iron have been struggling to find their form in 2021, with the team losing each of their first three games of the year. Scunthorpe United are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Grimsby Town, meaning that home win should not be considered. The Mariners, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal, with the team failing to find the net in three of their last four league fixtures.
Given Scunthorpe’s difficulties up front, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. It has to be noted that there have been under 2.5 goals in each of the previous three meetings between the two clubs. In their last league game Grimsby Town played out a goalless draw with Southend United, which is yet another reason why a low-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Clarke):
Jordan Clarke is a professional footballer who plays for League Two club Scunthorpe United. Born on November 19, 1991, Clarke is a product of the Coventry City football academy. He continued playing for the Sky Blues at senior level and after scoring 4 goals in 125 appearances for the club, he moved to Scunthorpe United in 2015.
It has to be noted that he had a short loan spell with Yeovil Town as well during the 2014/15 season. Jordan Clarke made his Scunthorpe debut in the League Two in a 2-0 loss to Swindon Town on August 3, 2019. Clarke’s main position is right-back, but he is used as both centre and left back as well.
Since he was a very talented player, Jordan Clarke earned call-ups for both England U19 and U20 teams. Speaking of his personal life, you should know that the Scunthorpe United defender attended Coundon Court School in Coundon, Coventry.

Grimsby Town made it to the FA Trophy final on two occasions (2012/13, 2015/16), but they have yet to win the title in the competition. The likes of Hull City and Scunthorpe United are regarded as the club’s main rivals.
