Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Grimsby
Match Time & Date:
30 August 2025
15:00
Prediction: 3-2
Bristol Rovers
Buoyed by the historical EFL Cup win over Manchester United, Grimsby Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate as they welcome Bristol Rovers to their Blundell Park on Saturday. The Mariners are brimming with confidence following the amazing EFL Cup triumph and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play against Bristol Rovers. Harvey Rodgers is rated doubtful for the home team after picking up a knock in the midweek game.
The Pirates, on the other hand, did well to beat Cambridge United 1-0 on Matchday 5, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Grimsby Town. Forward Shaqai Forde remains in the recovery room, but the 21-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team. Anyhow, we are tempted to bet on the high-flying hosts this time out.
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.
