Cheltenham are determined to bounce back from a 2–1 defeat to Oldham and given Grimsby's attacking potential, we predict that they will play out a 2-2 draw at Whaddon Road. Despite their inconsistent form, the Robins' attacking output remains strong: they average 2.17 goals per home match, and BTTS has landed in 50% of their home fixtures. Defensively, however, they remain unreliable, keeping just 17% clean sheets at home. Midfielder Ryan Broom, who missed the last league match through injury, is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Grimsby, on the other hand, seem to be at the top of their game, unbeaten in their last five and coming off a narrow yet controlled 1–0 win over Barnet. Even without Cameron Gardner, their midfield remained compact and efficient. Their defensive numbers stand out: 0.90 goals conceded per match overall and 33% clean sheets away, supported by a sturdy xGA of 1.02 on the road. Going forward, Grimsby score less frequently away (0.67 gpg), but their structure and discipline often compensate.
Considering Cheltenham’s high-scoring profile and Grimsby’s strong form, a lively contest is on the cards. Both Teams to Score (71% H2H) is our main betting pick for this League Two matchup, with additional value on Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:00.
