Prediction: 4-2
Cheltenham
Grimsby Town will be aiming to recover from a heavy 3-0 loss to Barnet when they take on Cheltenham Town in the League Two round 10. The Mariners are seen as one of the main candidates, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-three finish. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, both Darragh Burns and Clarke Oduor are in line for recalls to the starting XI.
The Robins, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only four points on their account. Unlike Grimsby, Cheltenham will be fighting hard to secure the League Two survival. The rock-bottom side, though, have already conceded 17 goals in the new League Two campaign and with Grimsby turning their Blundell Park into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Both Robbie Cundy and Jordan Thomas miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
