Prediction: 2-0
Grimsby
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Forest Green, Accrington Stanley will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Grimsby Town on Matchday 31. The Accy Stanley are eager to stay in the playoffs race and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s football match. The good news for the home side is that Joseph Gubbins has overcome his injury.
The Mariners, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the English fourth tier. Grimsby are seven points clear of the relegation zone, with the team obviously struggling at the back in recent weeks. As David Artell’s troops conceded 13 goals in total in the previous three league matches, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s showdown. To make things even more complicated for the away side, defender Douglas Tharme limped off with injury in the last league match.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
