Prediction: 2-1
Grimsby
Following a heavy 3-0 loss to Walsall, Morecambe will be aiming to get back on course in the League Two when they take on Grimsby Town on Matchday 35. Fit-again defender Farrend Rawson is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. A man to watch in the home team will be John McKiernan, who has netted seven goals so far this term.
The Mariners, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Stockport County and Doncaster and given their difficulties at the back, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting at the Mazuma Stadium Morecambe defeated Grimsby 3-1, which goes in favour of our prediction. As for the away side, experienced midfielder Gavan Holohan is pushing for a start.
