Prediction: 2-1
Swindon
Saturday’s football game at Blundell Park pits together Grimsby Town and Swindon Town, the two teams who were beaten by Colchester United and Walsall respectively in their last league match. The Mariners have already secured the League Two survival, but they surely want to give fans some cheer in their last home game of the season. Both Abobaker Eisa and Harry Wood are pushing for recalls as head coach David Artell is expected to shuffle his pack.
The Robins, on the other hand, are the worst travellers in the league with only 16 points on the road and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Experienced striker Charlie Austin is unlikely to be risked, while defender Harley Hunt is pushing for a rare start. It has to be noted, though, that Swindon Town have defeated Grimsby Town in each of the previous five meetings between the two sides.
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.
The Pilgrims registered their biggest win on September 4, 1925, as they crushed Tranmere Rovers 8-0. Speaking of their heaviest loss, Grimsby Town were beaten by Arsenal 9-1 on January 28, 1931. Pat Glover is sitting in top position in the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 180 league goals on his account.
