Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Grimsby Town and Gillingham face each other at Blundell Park in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Mariners aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, but given their difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Gillingham.
Meanwhile, the Gills suffered yet another dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. The two sides seem to be evenly matched at the moment; therefore, we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Tuesday’s encounter. Talented forward Jimmy Morgan will be assessed ahead of the kick-off after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Tranmere Rovers. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.
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.
