Prediction: 1-2
Hartlepool
Grimsby will be looking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Bradford City when they take on Hartlepool in the League Two round 40. The Mariners failed to win the previous four league matches, while suffering elimination in the FA Cup. Grimsby are desperate to get back on course, but it has to be noted that they have little to play for in the season finale. Barring any fresh injury worries, Paul Hurst is unlikely to make changes to the team that suffered a 3-2 loss to Bradford City as their performance was anything but poor.
The Pools, on the other hand, are fighting hard to secure yet another League Two survival. The visitors recorded a morale-boosting win over Swindon at the weekend, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to avoid relegation. Since Grimsby head into Friday’s clash with the lack of motivation, away triumph should be considered. Oliver Finney is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against Swindon.
