Grimsby
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Newport County
Grimsby Town will be aiming to build on the EFL Cup win over Shrewsbury Town when they take on Newport County in the League Two round 3. The Mariners have been scoring goals for fun of late and they will stick to their attacking style of play against Newport. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Jaze Kabia, who has already started paying off. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Exiles, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the start of the new League Two campaign. Anyhow, we are tempted to place our bets on Grimsby, that look sharp up front. Important defender Lee Jenkins returns to the Newport starting eleven after coming as a substitute in the EFL Cup loss to Milwall, while forward Gerard Garner remains in the treatment room.
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.
