Prediction: 3-1
Crewe
Grimsby Town and Crewe Alexandra face each other at Blundell Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Mariners have been showing signs of improvement of late, outclassing both Accrington (5-2) and Morecambe in the last two league matches and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Trinidad & Tobago international Justin Obikwu, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the EFL Trophy loss to Wrexham. As Crewe are on a four-game winless run on the road in all competitions, we are tempted to place our bets on Grimsby Town. In their last encounter at Blundell Park Grimsby defeated Crewe 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
