Grimsby welcome Harrogate on the back of an impressive 5-0 win over Barrow, a result that underlines their improving form. As the Mariners have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, we predict a 3-1 home win. The hosts have taken 1.70 points per game across their last 10 matches, and their home performances stand out even more, averaging 2.00 PPG with 2.57 goals per home game. Defensively, the Mariners have kept 43% clean sheets at home, conceding just 0.71 goals on average. Both Walker and McEachran remain doubtful, but the momentum is clearly with Grimsby, whose xG numbers (1.82 at home) suggest their recent scoring surge is no fluke.
Harrogate, on the other hand, head into Friday's match after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Notts County, but their away stats are more solid than their home form. The Sulphurites pick up 1.40 PPG away, scoring 1.20 goals on their travels and keeping 40% clean sheets. Wigan loanee Tobian Brenan is expected to return to the starting XI to boost their creativity. Historically, Harrogate have the upper hand in this matchup, winning 5 of 11 meetings, with 73% of H2H games seeing BTTS.
Goven Grimsby's strong home form and recent scoring explosion, Home Win should be considered, alongside Grimbsy Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 3 April 2026 at 15:00.
