Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following the FA Cup loss to Oxford United, Grimsby Town will look to extend their unbeaten run in the League Two to five games when they face Crewe on Saturday. The Mariners are only five points clear of the relegation zone, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. Anthony Driscoll-Glennon limped off with injury in the last league match, should be fit for the Crewe clash, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating all Harrogate, Notts County, and Doncaster, while sharing the spoils with Sutton. Crewe are more of a team than Grimsby and given their fine displays on the road, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the round 21 clash.
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.
