Prediction: 2-1
Grimsby
Buoyed by the EFL Trophy win over Lincoln, Chesterfield will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Grimsby Town on Matchday 5. The Spireites are after their first home win of the season and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Bear in mind, though, that experienced Jamaica defender Chey Dunkley serves a one-game ban. Albania forward Armando Dobra returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the midweek triumph.
The Mariners, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. As Grimsby have suffered defeats to both Fleetwood (0-1) and Notts County (1-4) on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on the home team. Grimsby Town midfielder George McEachran is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match.
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.
