Prediction: 2-1
Grimsby
Colchester will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Harrogate when they take on Grimsby Town in the League Two round 33. The U’s are eager to get back on course in the English fourth tier and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Mariners. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the midweek clash.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Stockport County. Grimsby Town extended their winless run to five games at the weekend and given their shaky defence, we believe that bettors from all around the world can find value in betting on the home side. As for the away team, all Andrews, Vernam, and Green are pushing for a start. David Artell is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
