Our prediction for this League 2 match:

Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 1-2
Accrington
Following a 1-0 loss to Colchester, Grimsby Town will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Accrington on Matchday 18. The Mariners have difficulties up front, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three league matches; therefore, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the home side ahead of Tuesday’s encounter.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, survived Swindon Town in the FA Cup round 2. Accrington have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Grimsby. Given the home team’s poor form in the League Two, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in the midweek clash. Dara Costelloe is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in the FA Cup triumph.
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.
