Prediction: 1-0
Grimsby
Gillingham play host to Grimsby Town at their Priestfield Stadium on day 9 of the new League Two campaign. The Gills defeated Barrow 2-0 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Grimsby. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach Mark Bonner is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bluebirds at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Mariners have been in a promising form of late, beating Bromley at home and Carlisle on the road, but they face a difficult task against Gillingham, who have turned their Priestield Stadium into a real fortress. As the likes of Eastwood, Barrington, and Tharme limped off with injuries in the last league match, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side this time out. All Auton, Ainley, and Gardner are pushing for recalls to Grimsby’s starting eleven due to the current situation in the recovery room.
