Prediction: 2-1
Cheltenham
Blundell Park will host Saturday’s football game between Grimsby Town and Cheltenham Town, the two teams who are sitting in the opposite halves of the table following round 1. The Mariners are eager to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Fleetwood Town and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Donovan Wilson should continue leading the line for the hosts after opening his goal-scoring account in the EFL Cup triumph over Bradford City.
Michael Flynn’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the EFL Cup defeat to Plymouth and given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. As for the away team, important midfielder Joel Colwill should be recalled to the starting eleven after coming as a substitute in the EFL Cup defeat.
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.
