Prediction: 2-2
Forest Green
Grimsby Town will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run when they face Forest Green on Matchday 36. The Mariners have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding nine goals in total in the previous three league matches, but they are surely capable of matching the Green Army on home soil. Influential attacker Abobaker Eisa, who has netted nine goals so far this season, is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Forest Green, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone. As the relegation-threatened visitors will go for a win in Saturday’s showdown as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. There are no fresh injury problems in the visiting team ahead of the trip to North East Lincolnshire.
