Prediction: 2-2
MK Dons
Grimsby Town and MK Dons take on each other at Blundell Park in an eagerly-awaited League Two game. The Mariners are undefeated in the previous four league matches, but they need to keep on making progress in the season finale if they are to avoid relegation. Justin Obikwu limped off with injury in the last league match, with Donovan Wilson likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mansfield Town and Salford City and given Grimsby’s attacking potential at home ground, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. As there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, Mike Williamson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Lions at the weekend.
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.
