Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Grimsby Town will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon when they welcome Tranmere Rovers to their Blundell Park on Matchday 21. The Black and Whites do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league fixtures. DR Congo international Michee Efete limped off with injury in the last league match, with fellow defender Andy Smith likely to step up.
Meanwhile, the Super Whites are eyeing their first league win since October 14, 2022 when they outplayed Crewe 3-0 on home soil. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered this time out as both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to North East Lincolnshire.
Highlighted Player (Ludvig Ohman):
Born in Umea, Sweden on October 9, 1991, Carl Ludvig Ohman is a defender who plays for Grimsby Town in the League Two. Ohman began his youth career at Sandakerns SK, and in 2007 he moved to the fellow Swedish club Kalmar FF.
The experienced centre-back continued playing for Kalmar FF at the senior level, but in 2016 he decided to take a step forward in his career, signing a deal with J-League club Nagoya Grampus. Ludvig Ohman played for the likes of AFC Eskilstuna and IF Brommapojkarna as well before joining his current club.
Ohman made his Grimsby Town debut in a 2-2 draw with Oldham Athletic on September 14, 2019, finding the net in the dying minutes of the match. The 191-cm tall defender has eight caps with the Sweden U19 team while making eight appearances with the U17 team. He can be used as both centre and right back.
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
