Grimsby aim to get back on course after back-to-back league defeats to Notts County and Bromley and given their fine home record, we predict that they will defeat Oldham 2-1. At home the Mariners are more competitive, averaging 2.17 goals scored and 1.50 conceded, which translates to a respectable 1.50 points per game at Blundell Park. Their expected goals at home sits at 1.72, indicating they usually create enough to threaten. However, defensive inconsistency continues to be an issue, with just 17% clean sheets and a BTTS rate of 50% in home outings. There are no fresh injury concerns, with Sweeney and Gardner remaining in the recovery room.
Oldham travel in better overall shape, having taken 4 points from their last two matches, highlighted by a strong win and a resilient away draw. Their away metrics are steady: 1.00 points per game, 1.00 goals scored, and 1.50 conceded, supported by an expected goals of 1.49 on the road. They aren’t prolific but remain competitive across phases, keeping 25% clean sheets away from home. Forward Mike Fondop-Talum is suspended, though he is not part of the regular starting XI.
As both sides average 3.0+ total goals per match, Over 2.5 goals market seems appealing, alongside Home Win and BTTS.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
