Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Grimsby and Doncaster take on each other at Blundell Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Mariners have been raising their form week by week and they must be high on confidence following three consecutive league wins. You should bear in mind, though, that midfielder Kieran Green has joined Jake Eastwood in the recovery room. Both Tharme and Barrington, though, have recovered from their minor injuries.
The Donny, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Barrow and they managed to get one, with Harry Clifton scoring the only goal of the match. Doncaster are eager to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but beating the in-form hosts at Blundell Park is easier said than done. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, we are tempted to bet on draw.
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.
