Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Forest Green
Match Time & Date:
18/11/2023
16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Grimsby
Forest Green will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Tranmere Rovers when they take on Grimsby Town at the New Lawn on Matchday 18. The Green Army defeated Crawley Town in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Defender Dominic Bernard misses out through suspension, while talented midfielder Charlie McCann should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Mariners, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on Forest Green. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Gloucestershire. You should bear in mind that Forest Green emerged triumphant in five of the previous six meetings with Grimsby Town in the English fourth tier.
Highlighted Player (Troy Deeney):
Troy Deeney started his professional career in 2006 at Walsall. The prolific attacker scored 27 goals in 123 appearances for the club and in 2010 he went on to sign a contract with Watford. He joined the Hornets for a fee of £500,000 and it has to be noted that he scored only two goals for the team in the 2010/2011 Championship campaign.
However, as time went by he was raising his form and in the 2014/2015 the English attacker scored 21 goals for Watford and helped the team secure promotion to the Premier League. Troy Deeney was playing an important role in Quique Sanchez Flores’ team on their return to the English top flight and he bagged no fewer than 13 goals in the 2015/2016 season.
Deeney was born in Birmingham, West Midlands, on 29 June, 1988 and he has two children, Myles, a son, and a daughter Amelia. His brother Ellis is a football player as well, but he plays as a midfielder. The striker has also spent some time in prison, but has since seriously improved his behaviour.
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.
