Prediction: 2-1
Grimsby
Bradford City will be looking to keep their promotion hopes alive when they take on Grimsby Town in the League Two round 41. Since Bradford have two games in hand, a win over Grimsby will see them rejoin the playoffs race; therefore, we are positive that the hosts will go all guns blazing at the visitors. Despite failing to find the net in the 1-1 draw with Stevenage, Andy Cook should continue to lead the line for the Bantams.
The Mariners, on the other hand, sit in the ultimate position in the standings ahead of Saturday’s clash. Grimsby are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but given the importance of the match for Bradford City, we are not tempted to put our money on the underdogs. When the two teams met at Blundell Park earlier this season the Bantams defeated the Mariners 2-1.
