Prediction: 0-2
Tranmere
Grimsby Town and Tranmere Rovers face each other in a highly-anticipated League Two clash at Blundell Park. Grimsby failed to win the previous five league fixtures, and, as a result, they remained in the relegation zone. The rock-bottom side are desperate to get back on course in the League Two, but they are seen as underdogs in the midweek clash.
The Super Whites, on the other hand, continue to impress in the second half of the season, with the team beating Southend on the road at the weekend. Since Tranmere are eager to climb to automatic promotion places, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. Tranmere are more of a team than Grimsby, and we are positive that the promotion-chasing visitors will prove their worth on the field. In the first half of the season Grimsby crushed Tranmere 5-0.

Sean Scannell is a winger who plays for Huddersfield Town. The Irish footballer is capable of playing up front as well and he began his senior career at Crystal Palace, before penning a three-year contract with Huddersfield Town.

Sean Scannell has 10 caps for Republic of Ireland Under-21 side, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior team. Scannell was named Republic of Ireland Young Player of the Year in 2007, and in 2008 he was Crystal Palace’s Young Player of the Year.
His contract with Huddersfield Town expires on 30 June, 2019 and his highest market value was €1 million back on 8 January, 2009. Sean Scannell started his youth career in Addiscombe Corinthians, but he played for Crystal Palace youth teams as well.
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
