Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following back-to-back losses to Sutton (1-5) and Lincoln (0-2), Notts County will look to give fans something to cheer about when they face Grimsby Town on Matchday 2. The newcomers have been struggling to find their best form, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Goalkeeper Aidan Stone is back from suspension, meaning that Sam Slocombe will return to the bench.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from the EFL Cup defeat to Mansfield Town. Since Grimsby are desperate to score their first goal of the season, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in a competitive match Grimsby Town defeated Notts County 2-1 after extra-time. Wales midfielder Harry Clifton is widely expected to return to Grimsby’s starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Grimsby):
Founded back in 1878 as Grimsby Pelham, Grimsby Town are a professional football club that compete in League Two, the English fourth tier. Grimsby Town welcome their opponents at Blundell Park, the stadium which has the capacity of 9,027 people (all seated).
The Pilgrims are well known for their black jerseys with white stripes, whilst blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. 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.
The Pilgrims registered their biggest win on September 4, 1925, as they crushed Tranmere Rovers 8-0. Speaking of their heaviest loss, Grimsby Town were beaten by Arsenal 9-1 on January 28, 1931. Pat Glover is sitting in top position in the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 180 league goals on his account.
